I've used Django before version 1.0 That's 3-4 years ago. The tutorial is pretty good, though I took my time to understand every bit of piece. At the time the best book anyone could get was The Django Book (http://www.djangobook.com/en/2.0/index.html), which unfortunately has ceased development.
I don't use Django these days but the hard part I remember was using signal. Getting deep into the core to fit needs is hard of any framework.
There are many tutorials just covering the basics of the framework. Then the author stops because eventually the complex stuff like handling long computation, message queue, openid/oauth/ldap integration, load balancer are very project dependent. While that's true, and every tool's author must have some "tutorial" on how to use his or her tool, but this independence (or shall I say decentralized) can be a burden on beginner.
I am very much like to think we should have a book that can cover more tool integration.
