There u a lot of book teaching django, I just don't know which one is the best, so can anybody give me an answer
I would recommend Practical Django Projects by James Bennett, it's really clear and practical.
Best is subjective and what books do you already know?
I would not buy a printed book. Information is changing too fast.
I find the official Django documentation pretty useful, then there is the Django book and the Django questions here on SO are useful too of course.
Also this blog (from one of the Django authors? I am not sure) gives some nice tipps and tricks.
I have found The Definitive Guide to Django Web Development Done Right, 2nd edition to be good.
The online official django tutorial and documentation is quite good.
Good book for start creating practical Django application:"Beginning Django Ecommerce"

I am a beginner programmer not just in django development. Its getting more and more complicated and can't keep working solo.
Was wondering if its possible to find a django mentor here(stackoverflow), so many great developers here.
thank you.
This question will most likely get closed, but my suggestion would be this:
Learn these technologies in this order:
HTML
CSS
JavaScript
SQL
A server-side language. Python is probably the easiest to get started with. Check out Dive into Python
Call me old-fashioned, but I find that paper books are still easier to learn from than digital. For me, they are simply more tactile, and faster. If you just want to dive in head first, and you want to use Django, start with The Definitive Guide to Django, follwed by Practical Django Projects, then Django Testing finishing up with Pro Django.

I'm beginning to learn Cocos2D, I am personally more of a visual learner so if anyone knows of any good video tutorials they could direct me to, I would very much appreciate it :)
Thank you in advance for your time and any help :)
First off, Cocos2D is an excellent and (relatively) easy engine to get your head around. Good choice! I would highly recommend the book by Steffen Itterheim found here. In just a few days I felt good about using the engine. A few months later, it is second nature. Also check out Kobold2D, which is an extension of Cocos2D that handles a lot of the annoying nitty-gritty stuff for you. Also, Ray Wenderlich has a whole host of Cocos2D online tutorials, but not all of them are up to date with the latest releases.
There is a blog post about good resources to get you started here.

I'm a C++ programmer who wants to expand his knowledge into SQL language because I'm dealing with QtSQL module and would like to understand it better.
I would like to find a gentle introduction to SQL language for a C/C++ programmer.
Can you suggest some reading or a particular tutorial?
See this question: https://stackoverflow.com/questions/31982/looking-for-a-good-book-to-learn-sql
the highest rated answer recommends 2 nice books for beginners.
Coming from C++ field doesn't make much difference in this case in my oppinion. Start from basic stuff and you'll be fine!
For a nice web tutorial you can also check this: http://www.w3schools.com/sql/default.asp
COMMENT: You should not ask for recomendations in SO (although judging by your reputation you are aware of the rules). There are already various answers for this question as it is too generic and subjective. Read some books and tutorials and come back with SQL coding questions ;-)

I read Djangos cms comparison page and it seems
http://www.django-cms.org/
may be what I was looking for.
Any experience with that? Recommendation?
Especially on how to install it. I cant find any installation info for it.
Apart from:
"Make sure that cms, mptt and publisher folders are on your pythonpath. They all should come with the distribution."
Or what is the best and easiest to install cms for django with the least dependencies?
I used Mezzanine. In general it works but I switched to Django-CMS now and am happier with it.
Here is a really straightforward way to get started: https://www.django-cms.org/en/documentation/
I had a similar problem and selected django-cms. FeinCMS looked attractive as well.
There is a pretty good tutorial for django-cms at: http://readthedocs.org/docs/django-cms/en/2.1.3/. The only drawback is that there is not about the deployment on the production environment. However, you should get it done by reading django documentation at: https://docs.djangoproject.com/en/dev/howto/deployment/.

I've been trying to find a django wiki app, which has the following -
1.) WYSIWYG
2.) Attach files
3.) Revisions
I see moinmoin, but before going all in, wanted to see what you all have used.
List of Django Wiki projects:
http://djangopackages.com/grids/g/wikis/
The two leading candidates I can find are:
django-wikiapp
django-wiki
django-wikiapp looks a little more mature, and definitely supports revisions but does not seem to support attachments. WYSIWYG wouldn't be too tough to implement using something like TinyMCE or CKEditor. Attachments may be the sticking point.
There is also https://github.com/pinax/django-wakawaka which used in the pinax project. Editing attachments is not supported by the wiki itself but it is suggested to use django-attachments for this use case :)
