* If you don't know Python, start with the Python tutorial - it will
save you a lot of pain. And don't forget to quickly browse the stdlib
doc so you don't reinvent the proverbial squared wheel.

* If you don't have working experience with web apps and the HTTP
protocol, start browsing the RFC. It's not going to be fun, but if you
manage to get the big picture it will also help you.

* If you never learned about SQL, the relational model, and database
design, it's about time to do someghing about it. There are quite a
few articles, tuts and whatnot (of varying quality) on the net.

* Oh, and some HTML and CSS knowledge might help.

* And at least knowing how to configure Apache (or Nginx or whather
your favorite web server is) might help too.

Once you are ok with all this, the Django tutorial is obviously the
place to start. While following it, try to search the doc for more in-
depth infos, so you'll have a hint about what Django provides and
where to look for for more detailed informations.

Or you can forget above all this and start with the tutorial, but it
might be way more painfull and way less rewarding, depending on your
background. The point is: the FineManual (rightly) assume you already
know Python, SQL, database design, HTML, HTTP etc, so if you don't
quite a few things won't make sense.

My 2 cents...
