Drupal 7 includes the new Field API which provides "CCK functionality" in core. The Field API supports attaching custom data fields to nodes, users, remote data objects, and any other type of entity. This session introduces the Field API for module developers and shows how it differs from Drupal 6's "hook_nodeapi" approach.

Jeff Whatcott and Barry Jaspan from Acquia on stage at the 2008 Web 2.0 Expo Launch Pad event. Web 2.0 is easy. Just buy a new CMS, a blogging platform, a wiki system, some forum software, a social networking engine and connect it all. OR YOU COULD USE DRUPAL, the open source social publishing system everyone is talking about.
