If you're a Django newb, I'd recommend first going through the Poll tutorial<https://docs.djangoproject.com/en/dev/intro/tutorial01/> and then The Django Book <http://www.djangobook.com/en/2.0/index.html>. You need a fundamental understanding of Django (and HTML+JavaScript) to effectively develop what you're describing.
For a client to communicate with Django via ajax using jQuery, you'll use the ajax method: http://api.jquery.com/jQuery.ajax/ On the server side with Django, you have a few options as to how you develop an API. A small scale solution that is good for testing is to simply serialize your HTTP response to JSON before returning it. This will allow your client to hit URL endpoints and receive JSON responses (which jQuery handles quite easily) Although arguably not very scalable, you've effectively created a light API at this point. A more robust solution using Django is to develop a formal API using an available framework. I've used Django REST Framework<http://django-rest-framework.org/>and Tastypie <http://django-tastypie.readthedocs.org/en/latest/> (and enjoyed both in different ways), but I'm sure there are others. With the knowledge gained from the links above, you'll be able to use jQuery within a HTML template to create and send a request using AJAX to an API on a server (Django), receive the response from the server, and then update your template accordingly based upon the response you received.
