from the docs: Changed in Django 1.8: The context argument used to be called dictionary. That name is deprecated in Django 1.8 and will be removed in Django 1.10.
https://docs.djangoproject.com/en/1.9/topics/http/shortcuts/#optional-arguments I've been fooling with Django since 1.6 and I don't recall it ever being called "just" dictionary. But presumably it will still, in fact, be a dictionary? I get the fact that the dictionary maps from Python objects to where on the template it goes, but that's really about all I've ever grasped about context. I've read the docs, but I don't feel like I really 'get it'. Can someone here suggest another source - book, blog, online, off, that really goes into depth, and step by step explains context and all the various ways it can be created in a view? It would be especially helpful if this resource went into more advanced and complex contexts, like in a page pulling from many different models.
