No, in that particular example, the form is not defined in the controller
at all. If you do "return dict(form=form)", you will get an error, because
"form" has not been defined. In this case, the form is defined in the view.
The first() function simply receives the form post and checks whether
"visitor_name" is one of the variables in the post -- otherwise, it simply
returns the first.html view, which includes the empty form.
