Yea you are correct. Just saying when you read a Django tutorial and they say a "View is not a View", meaning that the Django View is different... that is not exactly newbie friendly.
- icebraining 10y agoTo be fair to Django, their concept of View is closer to what it meant originally, before MVC was adapted by Rails et all. And if you're a complete newbie, you don't have any preconceptions of View anyway. It's only a problem if you come from other Web frameworks.
- DanieleProcida 10y agoI'm not so sure, I understand Model-View-Template much better than I understand Model-View-Controller. And for a real beginner, what a view is doesn't matter at all; what matters is how quickly they can start to feel they understand what they are doing with the system.
- hobs 10y agoSo your argument from personal knowledge is why something is easier or harder :) Here's my experience: Having attempted to do semi-meaningful things in both a few years ago, I can tell you that hacking on wordpress and figuring out its internals (as a newbie in php) vs hacking in django (as a newbie in python) that the django experience was orders of magnitude more effort.
