Your first 24hrs in Views
summary
Drupal Views is a query builder UI bundled in Drupal 8 that builds lists without coding, exposing fields, sorting, paging and display styles (page, block, RSS, grid, table). It demonstrates using relationships so a node’s taxonomy term name can be used as a URL argument and uses contextual filters with validation to return results or a 404. The interface shows live previews and an exportable SQL preview, and recommends modules like DraggableViews, Views Slideshow and Calendar for extra features.
