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/
I'll check it out, thanks!
Note that with this latest release, the tutorial from the official docs has been revamped and expanded.
Having worked on both the revamped tutorial and http://django.2scoops.org, I approve this conversation thread. ;-)
