<https://docs.djangoproject.com/en/1.7/intro/tutorial01/> is the best place to start for information.

And then the best way to learn Django, as is the case with any tool, is to have a problem you want to solve with it, because that gives you a project to work on, some motivation, some boundaries, and a way to decide whether or not you have been successful.

One of the most important things you can do when learning anything, including Django, is to learn to use Google as much as possible.

The majority of questions have already been answered by a wide audience, and most answers can be found with a simple search.

Sometimes you have to be creative with your searching, for example, you could have searched for;

* Getting started with Django

* Learning Django

* Learn Django the hard way

* Django examples

* Django books

Although different people learn in different ways, being self sufficient and going that extra mile to find the answers yourself will go a long way to making you stand out from the crowd. 

There are occasions where asking questions is the right thing to do, and you should make an effort to explain yourself thoroughly, whilst showing that you've made an effort to try and find the answer yourself. 

Don't limit yourself to just the Django framework, take time to learn about Python and other common stack components that go with the territory e.g. MySQL, Linux, Apache, Nginx etc.

Everyone has to start somewhere, and Django is a great place to start.. but being self sufficient will get you a lot further than most :)

That's my honest advice, straight from the heart, hope it helps you.
