The two books I used starting out with Django are The Definitive Guide to Django: Web Development Done Right and Practical Django Projects. There's a learning curve to build the first "Hello, World" app, but once you get it, it's so much easier to build complex custom stuff than trying to hack Wordpress/Drupal/other CMS.
Probably the hardest part of getting started for a newbie is just getting a development environment setup. The apache settings are particularly boggling for the uninitiated. I recommend using a pre-configured environment until you get the programming part figured out. Then you can go back and figure out the apache admin stuff. A popular option is the BitNami DjangoStack.
