Fair warning: 2 Scoops definitely assumes some familiarity with how Django works, specifically models, views, templates, and forms. It won't introduce these concepts to you but will help you use them better.

The official Django Tutorial is still a great starting place for getting your head wrapped around that stuff -- https://docs.djangoproject.com/en/dev/intro/tutorial01/

Thanks, I worked through the tutorial, so I know the basics I suppose. But I got to the end and wanted it to keep going, so I guess this book will come in handing for learning beyond the official tutorial.

I'm also going to check out http://gettingstartedwithdjango.com

If you're interested: I wrote an extended follow-up to the 1.4 tutorial that is a bit more real-world: using South for migrations, bootstrap templates, learning to use the forms library, adding popular apps like debug-toolbar and so on, writing annotation and aggregation queries, etc. See the "courseware" link at http://simeonfranklin.com/pro-django-class/

Note that with this latest release, the tutorial from the official docs has been revamped and expanded.
