Jon, I see you are pushing new information into your brains too fast :) Take a rest. Sleep well. I'm serious. Let your brain to digest. Then go back to the beginning of the book or/and review the beginning of the video about the basic concepts of the web2py framework. Try to understand the workflow from the request to the response. Clarify how views are used and how templates works. Then examine the generic views (generic.html, generic.json, etc.). Try to create your own view. Play with different data types in the response. You'll get it.
A little hint: if you did not define your own view the generic view will be used. And if you take a look inside the generic.html file then you will find a helper function BEAUTIFY(). Read about it in the book.
