That's an interesting observation. I've got a university background so I always viewed the 'theoretical' way of learning to be learning about computer science theory from textbooks, and not actually writing much code. Practical learning always involved building a project and referring to documentation to help me understand the 'right' way to do things for the framework/language concerned.

Where do you think reading blogs and watching tutorial videos falls in terms of learning?

Thanks for your reply. It depends on the blog post or the videos. If it's just a tutorial like "Getting started", it will take part of the practical way but if it explains how it works it will take part of the theoretical way.
