Welcome @alanhasn !

When in my Django learning journey i can Start learn CBVs?

The Official Django Tutorial introduces them, so you can start learning about them while you’re getting started. (And if you haven’t worked your way through that tutorial, you should - even if you’ve already been using Django.)

@alanhasn

Which one the best for big project FBVs or CBVs?

It’s not an “either / or” situation. You can use both as appropriate.

You can search the forum for more information about these choices.

For example, see:

• CBV vs FBV which one better for Complex web applications
• Do not save all models in MultiModelForm
• Django: save() prohibited to prevent data loss due to unsaved related object 'predictions' - #15 by KenWhitesell
• Correct view construction
• Beginner learning - Function base or Class Base approach - #7 by KenWhitesell

(There are many other topics where this is discussed as well. This is just a sample.)

That’s up to you - but it helps a lot if you’re really familiar with Python classes and the MRO.

The two resources that I always suggest to people for helping to understand the CBVs are the Classy Class-Based View site and the CBV diagrams page.
