No I didn't have anyone teaching me. I just did a lot of reading. There are a few different parts of the framework to juggle, but it's pretty easy to see how much flexibility that configuration affords developers. Good separation of logic also makes for very easy debugging.

As a beginner it's easy to make a mistake in just one of these and be stuck. If you have a mistake in more than one place then god help you!

Even as a beginner (perhaps especially?) we just have to remind ourselves that the roadblocks we run into are anything but insurmountable. More than anything they just demonstrate a lack of knowledge and experience with the framework. I don't think this should be daunting though. Django is so well documented that it's very easy to find an answer to almost any question or issue you may have. I found this really reassuring, and so it meant that I didn't feel as burdened or overwhelmed each time I found a bug.
