The Entity Reference Module is a very useful module. It is easy to install and use with just a few steps. Download the recommended release at http://drupal.org/project/entityreference and install. You will also need to download and install Entity API http://drupal.org/project/entity and Chaos Tool Suite http://drupal.org/project/ctools. Enable all three modules.
Create new content types with entity reference fields.
Comments
some background
I think explaining what makes this module useful will help users identify if they need/want to use it.
For a quick gloss on entities in Drupal 7 see http://drupal.org/node/1260680
This is great for the UI, but what about programming?
I dont seem to be able to find any good docs for how to write a custom node module that uses these fields. For example, I know how to make a custom d7 node module with basic fields, but how do I add these fields to my _mymodule_installed_fields and _mymodule_installed_instances functions arrays?
EDIT: This is the recommended way to replace nodereference fields from D6 in the D7 paradigm, so that might be the prefect programmatic example to include for other new D7 programmers.
Agree
I agree with you. I can't find documentation.
Can you advise something?
