More complex or more detailed? (I would argue that The Django Book is about as high quality as you are ever going to get for a free tutorial....) Try: http://www.hoboes.com/NetLife/pytown/django-beyond-sql/ or: http://opensourcebridge.org/2009/wiki/Django%3A_Thinking_Outside_The_Blog or: http://www.slideshare.net/jacobian/django-in-the-real-world-1750000 The real issue is that, because Django is a framework, designed to meet N number of possible needs, once you get "beyond the basics", the specifics start to diverge more and more from what _you_ actually need to do.
