-
- field
- An attribute on a :term:`model`; a given field usually maps directly to
- a single database column.
-
- See :doc:`/topics/db/models`.
-
- generic view
- A higher-order :term:`view` function that provides an abstract/generic
- implementation of a common idiom or pattern found in view development.
-
- See :doc:`/ref/generic-views`.
-
- model
- Models store your application's data.
-
- See :doc:`/topics/db/models`.
-
- MTV
- See :ref:`mtv`.
-
- MVC
- `Model-view-controller`__; a software pattern. Django :ref:`follows MVC
- to some extent <mtv>`.
-
- __ http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Model-view-controller
-
- project
- A Python package -- i.e. a directory of code -- that contains all the
- settings for an instance of Django. This would include database
- configuration, Django-specific options and application-specific
- settings.
-
- property
- Also known as "managed attributes", and a feature of Python since
- version 2.2. From `the property documentation`__:
-
- Properties are a neat way to implement attributes whose usage
- resembles attribute access, but whose implementation uses method
- calls. [...] You
- could only do this by overriding ``__getattr__`` and
- ``__setattr__``; but overriding ``__setattr__`` slows down all
- attribute assignments considerably, and overriding ``__getattr__``
- is always a bit tricky to get right. Properties let you do this
- painlessly, without having to override ``__getattr__`` or
- ``__setattr__``.

-
- queryset
- An object representing some set of rows to be fetched from the database.
-
- See :doc:`/topics/db/queries`.
-
- slug
- A short label for something, containing only letters, numbers,
- underscores or hyphens. They're generally used in URLs. For
- example, in a typical blog entry URL:
-
- .. parsed-literal::
-
- http://www.djangoproject.com/weblog/2008/apr/12/**spring**/
-
- the last bit (``spring``) is the slug.
-
- template
- A chunk of text that acts as formatting for representing data. A
- template helps to abstract the presentation of data from the data
- itself.
-
- See :doc:`/topics/templates`.
-
- view
- A function responsible for rending a page.
