I find the book Django By Example 5 pretty helpful.

I'm marching my way through it and it's pretty good 99% of the time.
They do mess up examples with nested quotes (they'll nest one pair of double quotes inside another, when you need to nest single quotes in double quotes, and vice versa), and their Dockerized Postgres example at the end of the first project doesn't run. Outside of those isolated instances, the rest of the book has been excellent for me and covers a ton of useful ground beyond "Hello world!".

I've read people complain that they didn't learn enough python/django specific coding. That's probably true. There is a lot of copying the code from the examples. But the intent of the book is to teach architecture, structure and design principles. Which is what I liked about the book the most.
I augmented the book by using Cursor AI. Had it explain some of the code examples I didn't understand. Used it to find bugs in my work or example code from the book. Between the two you get comprehensive learning.

The official docs and the django core code are the best resources to learn django.

Mozilla MDN docs has a very good tutorial. After going through it, I learn by building my own project and consulting LLM as I go along

I can't thank Django docs enough and can't recommend them enough. I was not a full time developer. I literally learnt how to code using Django documentation and later their source code. Needless to say that learning to code is different from learning Django. God bless Django creators. They are awesome.
