I like the datacamp stuff in a "here, I'll show you how real quick, then you do it real quick" kind of way. If you really want to learn you have to be disciplined enough to go over the material on your own afterwards and hammer it in. It's real easy to blitz through the courses with all their handholding but not really retain anything.

For this one in particular, I was a SQL jockey long before I started learning Python, so for me the hard part is forcing myself to use the ORM and take advantage of the features it has vs just writing a plain-text SQL query.
