I'd take the Django course. Python is possibly one of the easiest languages to step into. You will see new constructs, you will see funny-looking methods of doing things, but they all make relative sense.
I would suggest going out and getting the Python Pocket Reference (O'Reilly - Mark Lutz). It's a tiny book but you can seriously learn all the Python you'll need to develop Django apps just flicking through it when you need to know something. Having a window into #python or #django on freenode might be an idea too =) On Thu, 2009-08-13 at 18:08 -0700, snfctech wrote: > I currently know zero Python and want to start a project with Django > ASAP.
