Completely by happenstance, I just discovered that they very first commit for Views was three years ago today. Technically Views is either a little older or a little younger than that, depending upon how you look at it; about a week before I had posted the code to a forum post on drupal.org to request comments, though the code itself was hosted on my server and that particular setup has long since been changed to something else.
Still, if you're interested in taking a trip down memory lane (or digging deep into history) you can view the first Views alpha code that was readily available. It's become a very different piece of code since then, but it's interesting to see where the whole thing started out.
HAPPY BURFDAY!
What a glorious occasion to celebrate. I did a little digging and, when comparing the original version to the current latest version there are only two lines that remain from that original version:
1 1.1 (merlinof 25-Nov-05): <?php654 1.1 (merlinof 25-Nov-05): }
Grown
So the code base has grown slightly since then, has it? :-)
Yay, Views!
Nodequery :-)
Reading that forum post does give a feeling of history in the making. I esp; love that part :
"The module is currently named 'nodequery'. I'll rename it to 'views' (or
something else if a better name comes up) but I've had trouble having the Right
Name come to me."
And the face of earth would be different...(+ a great "Nodequery 2 now lists users !" annoucement)
Happy birthday Earl !
very entertaining

"...should make answering quite a few 'how do I..?' questions LOADS easier."
