Video is my preference because the teacher can show and tell as they code which is better for learning concepts. Books go out of date and canโ€™t be updated unless they release a new book. The better alternative would be the official documentation on a website.

You have to choose your teacher carefully, often they are junior coders who follow bad practices. But, I'm sure there are excellent youtubers out there.

Books, official articles are a good example of trusted info.

Thanks for sharing!

Brad Traversy, Maximilian Schwarzmรผller and Andrei Neagoie are all good they even have Udemy courses. Those are the type of teachers I can respect. Brad Traversy for example has over 1 million YouTube subscribers that speaks for itself.
