Well I'm a self learner too and I can testify that if you're actually looking to get some serious work done, taking this course isn't really gonna help. I started out with the Django documentation itself, reverse engineering a few projects that I thought were nice and just trying to understand the code in those projects. CS50w gives you an illusion that you're building and understanding something when in actuality you just filled a few holes, made a final project that JUST works ( apart from a few notable exceptions who probably tried learning Django themselves too while taking CS50w ) instead of struggling through the process of getting things to work. That struggle is exactly what lays down a strong foundation and experience in one's programming journey.
