Is there any good tutorial for learn how to use Class Based Generics Views in Django? I think that the documentation is not quite good and i'm a little bit lost when i try to do not usual things with the ListView, DetailView, CreateView, UpdateView and the other ones. I've read the Django documentation , The Django Book and a lot of google search.But i feel that i'm still not comfortable with my knowledges. Thanks
