The standard advice to run through the tutorial does mean the *whole* tutorial. If you are interested in "just running it and getting a page" all you need to do is skip ahead to section 3, at http://docs.djangoproject.com/en/dev/intro/tutorial03/ There you will see an explanation of URLs and views that should enable you to strike out on your own if you don't want to follow the tutorial. It's not like it's a secret or anything, simply that the tutorial puts in a lot of material about models and the admin site before getting to views that allow you to manipulate that model. This ordering may not be the most helpful for an impatient beginner, but it allows a patient one to relatively quickly get a good understanding of how Django manipulates database content. The ability to use the admin site to maintain data does meant the views are a little more interesting when they do come along. regards Steve-- Steve Holden +1 571 484 6266 +1 800 494 3119 Holden Web LLC http://www.holdenweb.com/ --~--~---------~--~----~------------~-------~--~----~ You received this message because you are subscribed to the Google Groups "Django users" group.
