A bit of googling and you will find many excellent resources - filter on 'last year' in the search results. One recommended book is 'two scoops of Django'. You should get familiar with the request response cycle (Language agnostic) and that will make things a lot clearer as you build up your skills.
Two scoops is an okay book I suppose, but it's definitely not what the grandparent post is asking for -- it goes over things too quickly.
I actually recommend youtube video tutorials! Like, some will show you how to make a basic photo hosting site... a blog site, etc. Follow those once or twice, and take it from there. Best of luck!
