Join Simon Allardice for an in-depth discussion in this video Creating a custom view, part of SharePoint 2010 Essential Training.
Every time you look at the contents of a SharePoint list, you're really looking…at a view of that List, a special filtered perspective. Because the list…information itself is stored in rather ugly database tables on the SharePoint…Server and this is not what we want to see.…If I have calendar data for example, I don't want to see a big…spreadsheet-looking thing. I want to go and see a calendar and indeed the…Calendar list has a default view that looks like a calendar.…It's filtering the data, meaning that there's a lot more entries than I can see…here, but a) I just want to see this month and b)…I just want to see some basic information.…
Most of these individual calendar appointments, if I click on them and decide to…edit that event, will tell me more information.…It might have some notes.…It's got a location.…It's got a category, but when I'm looking at the default Calendar view, I see none of that.…I just see the summary.…I see the useful information there, because we're looking at a filtered view…

Q: In the "Adding a user to a site" movie, the instructor shows how to add a user to SharePoint and demonstrates by adding a user named “gini.” But gini is already set up and recognized by SharePoint. What if I have no users set yet? How can I add someone?
A: SharePoint doesn't store a separate user database; it wants to be pointed to an existing source of users, like Active Directory. If you don't have that, you need to first add your new users as local accounts on the Windows box you installed SharePoint on. Only then will you be able to give them permission on a SharePoint site.
