So I wrote notes and played with Django a bit, but I’m still not sure if I am ready for the second part. Correct me if I’m wrong 😛

The project folder’s name doesn’t matter.

`views.py` is sort of like the one that converts html code.

`urls.py` is the routing thing.

`manage.py` lets you do stuff like being running the applcation

Am I right? Anything I’ve missed?

Nope, at this stage that’s the essence of what you should know at this point - with a couple of minor enhancements.

`views.py` - can contain multiple functions (or classes - you’ll see that later) that accept a request and return a response. In the “common” (or “default” or “stereotypical”) case, that response is an HTML page. (Key point is that it doesn’t _need_ to be - it can also be a JSON response, or even something else entirely.)

`urls.py` - Yes, routes requests to a function. Also specifies (where appropriate) whether parts of a URL should be used as parameters to those functions.

And, the one you didn’t include - `settings.py` - the normal place where you configure your system. It’s where the list of apps (think “components”), your database connections, and a number of other features are all configured.
