Ask HN: Good Resources to Learn Django for Beginners
2 comments
The book Two scoops of Django is great for learning best pracitces, but if you're starting from 0 it's not what you want.
The django book on www.djangobook.com was great when I learned Django back in 1.1, but it's been outdated for a while. However there are some efforts going into updating it for Django 1.5. Might be worth a look.
The Django docs are awesome. They've been updated recently with more tutorials.

I found the django docs to pretty good for starting up. Especially as the app they make for the tutorial is for making simple polls. That good be a nice jumping off point for a social network for the kids, ability to make and vote on things.
I'm going to be running a "summer boot camp" to teach my youngins how to make a website. My niece suggested we make a social network for her and her friends so I figured it would be a good time to teach them some Django. But I can't find any resources that can get a beginner up and running.
Can anyone recommend some sources? I don't mind paying for 'em. We just got through the Think Python book a while ago, so they have some fundamentals down.
Thanks a bunch
