Thanks for the help. I can see how I can do something like:
(r'job/(\w+)/$', job_details),
The job_details view can query the DB to see if that job is there, and
then display it. It looks like I need to learn more about the ()
matching syntax within the raw string. Karen, thanks for the link...
I have been going through the tutorial but well... I'm impatient!...
didn't quite get there yet. Am going to read it in full now.
