The typical recommendation to getting started with Django, is to go through the tutorial included in the documentation [0]. This is the path I took several years ago, it'll get you up and running in no time.
I found Two Scoops of Django[0] to be a great resource if you want to follow the best practices for a Django app. The authors are also very active in the community.
Seconded on both points - found the Django docs themselves to be AMAZINGLY helpful (to the point where I feel spoiled) when learning. Found another toy project or two online to learn and play with, then read through Two Scoops to really cement the ideas more and get some ideas on best practices AND went back to it a few times during development for reference.
