I advise beginning with the book as it's pretty easy to follow and has the most up-to-date documentation you'll find.
You can do some fairly cool stuff just following the patterns in the book, but before attempting anything serious you should spend some time studying and getting comfortable with python. It pays off very quickly. Ask lots of questions here. I think the main 'weakness' of web2py is that it improves and gets new features too fast for documentation to keep up, so stuff that you'll find through google, while it will always work because web2py never breaks backward compatibility, has often been deprecated by a better technique. Asking here, you almost always get a quick and up-to-date response. Also, once you learn the ropes, reading the source code of web2py itself is often the best form of documentation you can find, and it's also great to learn how such a powerful piece of software was written.
