Hi Hasan,

If you take a look at the Learn Django track then you can get a good idea of the basic Python knowledge requirements leading up to the actual Django courses.

My personal recommendation is to do the entire Python track first. Aside from Python basics, in Django you will be using object-oriented programming, dates and times, python testing, regular expressions and collections. It would definitely be easier to have a reasonably good understanding of these concepts so you can focus mostly on actually using the Django framework.

But it is entirely up to you. You can jump right into Django immediately and learn all this stuff as you go, but it may end up being a steeper learning curve than it needs to be, depending on where you currently are with your Python skills.
