Learning to code from books is like taking relationship advice from a hermit

So what would you recommend then?

Learning to code from YouTube is like taking advice from 12 year olds with the attention span of a gold fish.

@NoMad omg!! Gold fish 🤭

Stupid autocorrect getting it wrong since 2006

@NoMad i learned all i know from emoji paintings on a cave wall

@NoMad it also explains the quality of my code

I find learning from books to be quite peaceful... but I usually learn from YouTube and online books of respective languages... they r most updated 😌😌

I usually buy a course on something like udemy or watch a course on Laracasts / Lynda. Video tuts are great and thorough but I think they take up so much time that I usually only follow 50% of a course before I try to just create a project by myself, read documentation, bump some music and use the video tuts for reference. I have the same with books; I can only finish them for like 50%.

I might have the attention span of a goldfish
