Hi all,
I'm presenting Django to a crowd of 200+ people on Thursday as part
of the London Web Developer Frameworks evening ( http://
blog.unixdaemon.net/cgi-bin/blosxom.pl/2005/10/27 ). I'm putting the
slides together now and I want to do one detailing the various high-
level components of Django. I've identified these as:
1. The core thingy that hooks in to the web server, maps URLs to
views, handles errors and middleware and configuration
2. The object-relational mapper
3. The template system
4. The admin backend application
It struck me that it would be really useful to have names for these
components - especially number 1. We could call it "the controller"
but I don't think that fits the definition of MVC very well.
If you look at Rails they have great names for their different bits -
ActionController, ActiveRecord, ActionView etc. It would be handy if
we had the same thing - not just for presentations but also for
easier discussion on the lists / in changesets etc.
Cheers,
Simon
