Yes, django girls is very good. They use it for workshops, see where people run into trouble, and then adapt. So it's very well battle tested.

I prefer djangogirls to two scoops - twoscoops is the way to go once you have learn the basics. But I felt it lacked a walkthru example

Two Scoops is a great book, but it is based around best practices, so assumes you know Django already to some extent.

yes I agree - its where you should aspire to be

This is a very helpful one, I used it a lot and referred to it a lot when building out my first few Django apps.

can confirm this tutorial is good, covers setting up virtual env for python / easy to follow
