Drupal Form API Tutorial - buildamodule.com

The Drupal Forms API is one of the most powerful tools in Drupal, and it can save you a ton of time if you use it right. In this tutorial, we're going to cover techniques for using the Forms API to generate forms, validate them upon submission and process them once they've passed. If you come from a code-from-scratch background, you know how difficult securing forms from abuse can be. Even though the Forms API looks a bit odd at first, once you grasp the concepts you'll see how much of the heavy lifting is done by Drupal and you'll never look back.

My sentiments exactly. 2

My sentiments exactly. 2 minutes of my life wasted listening to you tell about a feature instead of giving an example or demo. Geez

Thank you for that content-free video

I'd like the Drupal community to stop saying what the API will do and SHOW what the API will do.

"You can get the validation API to validate your form". Wonderful. Typically when someone comes to a video like this, it's to watch a screencast of someone giving a practical example, not a sales pitch.
