is there a good tutorial about node.tpl.php ? what i want is to learn how to build custom lists of nodes . . . e.g a table with 4 rows and 5 columns with the most recent pictures . . .
a custom ordered list with custom icons etc etc . . .
I want to learn about the content variable and how is it organized . . . in order to call only the important values of it every time i want to build a custom listing.
p.s : I know that this is possible with views but what if a custom module has a custom "view" already built with in? Taxonomy menu , birthdays etc.

node.tpl.php deals with nodes not lists of "things" so it does not sound like the starting point for what you want. Personally I strongly suggest views. If you are trying to theme the output of another module, the modules name would really be useful.
