Yes, this is interesting.

When I learned Django, the existing books were, how can I put it, awful. Really

Sorry, but the ones that were "recommended" to me had no sense of a learning curve whatsoever. I was left frustrated by them, thinking I would never learn this.

And beyond the Django tutorial on the site, you're left all by yourself.

2SoD is good, but it's a book for advanced users.

It is really a sad situation.

To be fair, Django has excellent documentation and a great online community of bloggers and people to poke with questions. I've rarely come to a situation where I was truly off on my own. Although, yeah, I would love to see more Django books out there.

Yes, the documentation is very good, what confuses people is what to look up (if you don't know where to look) or in what order to learn things.
