Hi all!
Currently trying to learn django/python and wondering if anyone here has had some success with this tech. Does anyone have suggestions for how to learn django, good learning resources, tips, tricks etc.
Thanks,
Gurhar

The official Django tutorial is good.
There are a couple of Django books in the book lending library. If you want to borrow any of them, let me know the evening before a meetup and I’ll bring them. I thought that Lightweight Django was good. It’s for Django 1, but most of it should work with Django 2.
I’d say… Python will have the most longevity of the two; it’ll be around for the next ten years, guaranteed. I suppose Django would be alright to learn, though.
If you’re really new to web development, I highly recommend Django Girls’ tutorial as something that might be a little bit easier to digest than the official django tutorial.
I found lightweight django useful, but I wouldn’t recommend it until you’re at an intermediate level or are feeling like django is too heavy weight (spoiler alert: it really isn’t, it just comes with all the batteries included by default).
Two Scoops of Django is a great intermediate resource once you’re more familiar with the basics. I’d recommend reading it after building a couple of toy projects as a good intro to a lot of collected best practices before diving into a larger project
Thanks!
