First off, I think a good question to ask is why do you want to learn Django very deeply? Do you want to become a contributor to the project or do you want to be a user? If you want to be a user, then I'd recommend against getting too deep in Django (at least until it's absolutely necessary). There are many other people who are dedicated to the project and solving your problems for you. Concentrate on getting sh** done. Learning the internals of Django (more times than not) will hold you back in doing that.

However, if you want to contribute to the project (disclaimer: I'm not a contributor.. Yet ;)):

* Focus on learning Python. Without a (relatively) solid grasp on the language, many parts of Django internals will pass over your head. 

* Read the intro Django documentation (settings up a project, etc). Play with a sample project and play with various features. Get your head wrapped around the framework as a user from end to end.

* Pick a feature at a time that you want to learn more about. Stick a breakpoint in the entry points using pdb and step through the entire system. Nothing gives you better insight into a system than watching it at work.

* Scour the bug list. If there are any unassigned to that particular thing that you've learned, try fixing it and submitting a patch.

* Pick another feature, rinse and repeat.

now i wanted to learn django very deeply and along the way i will also look at python.

So People give me all links / tutorials / videos / blogs / documentation etc for Django 1.4

only thing i find updated is documentation.

so guys any newbie books / word of caution / general advice from your experience to newbie

please share it here.

Read the documentation, recreate the project in the documentation
tutorial then work on a project of your own. You can't learn to swim
by reading books, same for programming.

good answer,
first i want to be a user of this project
any strong tips for this

[ANIKET KADAM]

yes, you are right

[ANIKET KADAM]

is Django book => http://www.djangobook.com/en/2.0/

is good start for django1.4 => but book cover django1.0

so its a good idea to go with book.
