I'd recommend a section on 'Function Based Views' in there as well. I've personally found the CBV-based approach is sometimes good but in most cases I still prefer the FBV approach. You see it often enough that I think it is worth going ove

In Japanese, besides there being a lot of different levels of politeness, using "you" is still considered too direct in general. In conversation, it is to be avoided in almost all cases. It's common to refer to people by name, or by omittin
