Answer 1

It simply says that you import something that is not used later in the program. You thus have imported render , but no view is making a call to render , or passing a reference to the render function for example.

The same with the request parameter, it is not used when you construct a HttpResponse('Hello') . Usually if you import something, or you define a parameter for something, you use that something in the rest of the code. The message thus warns you that you might have forgotten something. You can here thus remove the from django.shortcuts import render line.

Answer 2

If you have not figured it out, it is not loading because you did not change the URL to /hello/.

During that lecture, as he was saying to run the program, he tells you to change the URL to IP:PORT/hello/.

I had the same problem.
