Ask HN: Best way for a new developer to learn Django?

Hey guys, I am looking to finally get in to web development with Django. Django and Python are in a weird stage right now, add in the fact I don't have any development experience and I am lost on how I should get started. I am first year CS student and have been learning Java in class, but I have taught myself Python at the same pace and am more comfortable programming in Python. I have been using 3.xx, not that it is a huge deal for Python, but I am wondering if I should try to use the latest version of Django so I can use the same version of Python I have been using.

My main question though is what is the best way to learn Django? I do not have ANY experience with a framework like this, my only experience is Python, HTML, CSS, some Javascript and a little bit of jQuery. Many people say just to use the documentary online, and I feel this would be good if I had some kind of development background. I am really looking for a book to purchase that is focused towards teaching the basics inside and out. From there I can start to hack stuff together and go off on my own, that is just the way I learn. So if you guys would suggest a book, what would it be? Otherwise what other options should I consider?
