Hi Scott,
I'd recommend their basic poll tutorial for a start:
https://docs.djangoproject.com/en/dev/intro/tutorial01/
The Django book is a good intro:
http://www.djangobook.com/en/2.0/index.html
Once you have a good understanding of the basics, the Two Scoops of
Django book is mighty good:
http://www.amazon.com/Two-Scoops-Django-Best-Practices-ebook/dp/B00CCK619K/
It doesn't matter that it's a version behind, the core concepts don't
generally change quickly with Django.
For deployments, Fabric is very much worth learning, and not too hard to
get the hang of:
http://docs.fabfile.org/en/1.8/
I love Linode. Their servers perform very well with Django (I have ~20
sites running on one of their $40 Ubuntu servers and it's /fast/). :D
Cheers,
Jason

Hey folks,
I'm planning to spend some time during the holidays to write my first
django webapp, and was wondering what recommendations people have for
books and online resources to get me bootstrapped and using the latest
best practices? I have some background in Rails, though that's gotten
quite rusty in recent years, and I consider myself intermediate-level
with python itself. Practical resources which include things like how to
deploy a django app are especially welcome - I have a Linode server
running Debian 7 as my target webhost.
Suggestions?
Thanks, and Happy Holidays!
Scott
