hey, just some personal tips from my personal learning journey. I started off by learning the basics and syntax of python ( such as how the functions look like, the for loop, ifs else etc cos it is slightly different ). I read teh book : Dive into python which is available free online. I only read teh first 4 chapters. (i have some C programming experience )
Afterwhich i went straight into the online djangobook ( the first 7 or 8 chapters to understand how it works ). It took me about 2 weeks ( i spent about 2 or 3 hours per day ) to learn what is going on, and by than i could already write some decent projects already using Django. The good thing by not going to the book camp is that u control your pace. Yup hope this helps.
