Course Description

Overview

Django view functions are simple and easy to use but sometimes you find yourself repeating a lot of the same work over and over. Luckily, Django also offers a way to create views as classes which can lead to cleaner, more reusable code. Class-based views have a lot of nooks and crannies, though, so let us show you around this powerful tool!

What you'll learn

  • Class-based views
  • Generic views
  • Mixins

Syllabus

Customizing Class-based Views

Class-based views wouldn't be nearly as useful if you couldn't tweak them to meet your needs. I'll show you how to combine view classes, use Django's provided mixins, and more to get just the view you need.
