Apologies Amirouche for the late reply. The documentation is good, but I like many apparently(based on tutorials for other envs) prefer a hands on approach to a documentary approach. This is the place where Django doesn't have much depth in its ecosystem. It has no current books and no hands on tutorial other than GSWD which creates a lot of lifting with installing ruby, vms, vagrant and so on just to start with Django.
Flask is starting to get a few tutorials popping up in real python for web, http://blog.miguelgrinberg.com/post/the-flask-mega-tutorial-part-i-hello-world, and in the works the Picard flask kickstarter http://www.kickstarter.com/projects/1223051718/practical-flask-book-project. I put my money where my mouth is and sponsor these kickstarters as there is such a shortage of good info. As I would back you Amirouche if you started a Kickstarter to give Django a good practical and hands on tutorial.
