Export Views to Code with a Custom Module

As a starting point for my new blog, I'll walk you step by step on how to export your views to code. Before we begin though, I bet your first question is:

Why?

Views are stored in the database and therefore can not be put into revision control. Like much of the Drupal system, the meat-and-potatoes of your website are stored in the database, and Views are no exception. If you should ever need to make a change to a view, you have nothing to roll back to, at least not without restoring a database backup, which is just silly.

First Post

This is one of those boring and completely pointless first posts.
Its here merely for the goal of providing something on the site until I think of something REALLY amazing and cool to blog about.
Until that time, enjoy this post and the stupid-simple design.
