We are definitely doing Django here on Treehouse, we just have to build up the required groundwork first. A long time ago, I jumped straight into doing Django without learning Python first and OMG did I make a lot of mistakes. So many things took way more time than they needed to and I went in a lot of circles. I don't want you all to have to deal with all of that.

I've been using Tango with Django (http://www.tangowithdjango.com) and The official Django tutorial (https://docs.djangoproject.com/en/1.7/intro/tutorial01/). Both of them include information on installing Django as well as piecing together a project. I don't think it's necessary to do both but I found that the information stuck a bit more by doing both.

You could check this out if you want: http://gettingstartedwithdjango.com ... Its done by Kenneth Love so its probably done well. I haven't used it myself so I can't give any actual review of it.
