Best Source to learn Django:

I can refer this from my own experience Django provides the best documentation out there where it takes you, step-by-step in making a polling app.
It is a readable and self explanatory documentation, you all can refer it through this link - https://docs.djangoproject.com/en/3.2/

Conclusion:

Django is a great addition to projects that need to handle large volumes of content (e.g., media files), user interactions or heavy traffic, or deal with complex functions or technology (e.g., machine learning). Yet it is simple enough for smaller-scale projects, or if you intend to scale your project to a much higher level. That’s why Django is used by so many companies that vary in size and goals.
