Dango notes II: class-based views

• A view is a callable which takes a request and returns a response.
• A view can be function (function-based view) or a class (class-based view).
• Class-based views allow you to structure your views and reuse code by harnessing inheritance and mixins.
• There are two ways to configure or set class attributes:
  • to subclass and to override attributes and method in the subclass, and
  • to configure class attributes as keyword arguments to the as_view() call in the URLconf.
