I was in a very similar boat two months ago and went through Michael Hartl's Rails Tutorial (http://railstutorial.org) and found it to be a great resource. You'll be able to get through it pretty quickly with your Django background, you'll learn some good stuff about workflow and testing in the process, and you'll know enough to build your own basic Rails project when you're done (with lots of reference-checks back to Rails Tutorial of course).

I also played with Rails for Zombies but found the pace to be a bit slow with the emphasis on cool multimedia and the simulator.

Very neat. Did you purchase the PDF or the screencasts or did you read it online?
I just read it online.
