Content types are used to capture and store data that is displayed on your site. Content Construction Kit allows you to add custom fields to any of the content types using a web interface. This class would demonstrate how to create a content type and work with other modules to create custom fields, including:

* Text
* File
* Nodereference
* Optionwidgets
* Fieldgroup

Precursor to the Build your site with Views presentation as the content type and fields will be referenced during that presentation.
