Improve tutorial to use class based views

[jo...@geiregat.org]

Hello,

Like I, probably most people start with djagno by following the
tutorial on the djangoproject.com website.
This tutorial makes only use of function based views.
But today we have this wonderful things called class based views.

Is this really the best way to introduce newcomers to django ?

Are there any plans to improve the docs to use class based views ?

Regards,

Jonas.

Hi Jonas,

The tutorial *does* cover class based generic views, but only towards the end:

https://docs.djangoproject.com/en/dev/intro/tutorial04/#use-generic-views-less-code-is-better

Starting with function based views, and then moving on to class based views by the end feels like the right approach, as it keeps things simple and obvious at the start, and gradually moves on to more complex abstractions.
