The section of the quickstart tutorial in question is Settings
When I went through quickstart tutorial, I followed it line for line, and thought I'd done everything right. Except I had accidentally written 'quickstart' where I should have written 'rest_framework' in the list of INSTALLED_APPS.
I am fairly new to django (but not to python) but I found this logical. After all, we literally used the command
startapp
to create thequickstart
app, so of course 'quickstart' should be an installed app!I think the settings section of the tutorial should explain to some extent why we are writing 'rest_framework' instead of 'quickstart', and emphasize that this is the case, with something like "notice we are NOT writing 'quickstart'. This is because..."
So I'm suggesting possibly one or two extra sentences. I understand this may go against the spirit of a "quickstart" but it frustrated me and I can imagine others might encounter it as well.
