Yes.

The tutorial is just lagging behind some.

>b) the documentation says to use HildonProgram instead of 
>HildonApp but I haven't seen how to 'add' an HildonAppView to

You should use HildonWindow instead.

The HildonAppView was architecturally a bit odd and we weren't able
to do some things in the UI with the old API and thus we decided
to change the API. Now the valid API is HildonProgram and HildonWindow.
