Help with starting

Hi!

I’m totally new to this, but everything about this framework looks really promising!

But I have one issue, and that is that I’m not completely satisfied with the tutorials out there, and I’m looking for a simple tutorial showing how you would go about for customizing the index page to be more like a web 2.0 frontpage. By that I meen, f.ex one big image on top, and three smaller images under this (like many web 2.0 pages). How would you go about when creating and styling this?

ALSO! If you could point me to any good books etc that would be amazing

Hi frank.

Did you do the Larry Ullman tutorial? I can remember it having a chapter about layouts and views.

I have checked his tutorials out yes… but did not find alot of UI customization in them. Just creating controllers, views, connecting to database etc.

I need more info on customizing layouts, different layouts on different pages, and how to define what is to be presented in the sidebar for instance, when using column2 layout.
