Hello,
I'm new to developing with views, but have been a developer for a long while. Anyway, I am trying to use Views 3 to make views to a number of custom rest applications I have built.

So, Is there any documentation that outlines where I need to get started with this? I've looked at extendr and apache soilr view (not entirely sure of the proper name) in some detail, but I am still not "getting it". It's probably due to my being somewhat new to drupal and really new to using views hooks.

Thanks ahead of time!

hopefully, this is the right place to put this since using Views 3 like this requires making a new module...

i am basically looking for what i need to hook into/override in addition to what the views 2 docs explain for the a normal datasource.

Since views 3 is only alpha, there is not likely to be documentation and support limited.

yeah, that's why i came to the forums. basically, just so someone could say "well, you need to do this in addition to the usual hooks."

Just to help others who might get a little lost with Views 3. After looking at this a little more, i realize now that the only difference from Views 2 is to make a query class that extends the query class in plugins/views_plugin_query.inc and implement those methods. As long as i'm not missing anything I think I'm good to go...
