#3If you are already familiar with Python and basic server framework concepts (request, response, models, etc), just read the documentation and start building your own projects. It'll always be up to date.

Real python has helped me pick up python and flask.
I go their book bundle when it was 35$ or so and still look up the books when I need something.
If you are looking for a book - Two scoops of Django is very good.

#10What helped me the most from the basics to being a Django professional has been Two Scoops of Django. The best about this book is that is authoritatively opinionated about which are the best practices in the Django world. This really helps you not to get lost.
