Introduction to Django and Getting Started

What's next?


In this chapter, we looked at only a couple of the generic views Django ships with, but the general ideas presented here apply pretty closely to any generic view. Appendix C, Generic View Reference, covers all the available views in detail, and it's recommended reading if you want to get the most out of this powerful feature.

This concludes the section of this book devoted to advanced usage of models, templates and views. The following chapters cover a range of functions that are very common in modern commercial websites. We will start with a subject essential to building interactive websites-user management.
