Having recently started Django for a small gig, I have found searching for Django documentation, tips, and practices, to be extremely difficult and confusing, especially coming from the Rails world where blog posts seem a dime a dozen.

I spent a long time looking for good info only to find outdated or poorly maintained docs, and a very little sense of "community".

I'll probably grab this book to get me jumpstarted. I'm happy, yet sad that I have to find my information this way -- says something about the community IMO (not a bash on you, but just a nag on the Django community as a whole as I feel it doesn't really like helping beginners).
