[Question] render instead of render_to_response in Chapter 4? about django-book HOT 1 CLOSED

Do you mean further down, around here? http://django-book.readthedocs.org/en/latest/chapter04.html#render-to-response

I think that would make more sense to push render over render_to_response. I swear I remember reading arguments pushing render because it's cleaner vs the legacy shortcut that is render_to_response.

Overall with the project, I'm trying to get some more goals or intent messages going, but I think your experience should be the main factor guiding messaging. Generally, I feel like render is promoted more and worth pushing to new users.
