> I am just learning Object Oriented terminology as I go along. Not the best idea if you ask me. You should try "wetting your feet" with simpler stuff first, and reading OOP theory. That being said, I *guess* you can start out and do a lot of stuff with Django without giving much thought of object oriented stuff. Anyway, I'll give you some pointers for your questions: > Please help me to understand what each word means in the class definition in > the tutorial http://docs.djangoproject.com/en/dev/intro/tutorial01/ . > Thank you. > > class => defines a class http://docs.python.org/tutorial/classes.html > Poll => name of the class? [my guess: this is just a name; it is not > used in the database?] Name of the class the example is defining. Django creates a table in the database wich includes the name "poll" prefixed by the app's name. > (models.Model): => what is this? [my guess: there is a django class > called model and that has a subclass called Model and this statement > says that Poll is a subcalls of Model which is subclass of model?] Your guess is close, but not quite correct. 'model' is the name of a module (a .py file containing code), read about that here: http://docs.python.org/tutorial/modules.html The rest of your guess is correct :) > question => the name of the class variable? [my guess: This is a > column in the database?] Your guess is somewhat correct, there will be a column in a database named "question" as a result from that line of code. A class variable is something Django uses to make this happen. > models. => what is this? A Python module. > .CharField(max_length=200) => [my guess: this defines the type of the > data in the column "question"] Yup, more on that here: http://docs.djangoproject.com/en/dev/ref/models/fields/#ref-models-fields Good luck! -- P.U.
