Introduction to Django Views

# blog/views.py
from django.http import HttpResponse


def welcome(request):
    return HttpResponse("Welcome to my Django blog!")

The function above is a complete Django view. It receives one argument, an object that describes the browser's request, and it returns an object that describes the answer Django sends back. A view is any Python callable that takes a request and returns a response, and every page of a Django site is produced by one.

This chapter follows a request through the code you write. This lesson builds the first views of the blog app and connects them to URLs
