I've found that the only problems I encountered on my first couple of Django projects were the following:
1. Unix problems due to not being very experienced with Unix shell stuff. 2. Spending way too long trying to customize the admin because I didn't realise how easy it would be to write my own CRUD using newforms 3. Doing everything in a slightly roundabout way and then discovering too late there was a much more elegant way to do it. Look at other people's code as much as possible including the Django source. It's much less scary than you would think. A few other tips: 1. Learn to love the manage.py shell. A combination of that and the lovely django traceback (hint - raise your own exceptions "raise: Foo": and you can have a traceback whenever you want) have convered all my debugging needs. All my django projects have been finished much quicker than expected. My second Django site was a paid gig and the client was very happy. Good luck!
