path('books/', views.BookListView.as_view(), name='books')
path('book/<int:pk>', views.BookDetailView.as_view(), name='book-detail')'
im following this https://developer.mozilla.org/en-US/docs/Learn/Server-side/Django/Generic_views
and was wondering what determines the name(books, book-detail) we give it
steady sage
You as a developer can choose any name you like for a URL.

The first argument to path shows the URL path you've defined. In this case, it's book/<int:pk>, so that's what the URL shows. The name parameter is for your code internals only, if you need to refer to that URL path somewhere in the code (such as using the reverse function or the url template tag)

what do you guys suggest for tutorial
valid hull
The <int:pk> is a placeholder in the path, which basically says "when you see the word book/ followed by an integer in a URL, call the BookDetailView, passing that integer as the pk parameter"
