I'd say it's almost like when learning a foreign language: one usually watches a video or listens to a podcast to gather some familiarity with it and to get inspired, but the bulk of the actual knowledge comes from them thick grammar books.
Same can be applied to learning programming languages and frameworks: a code-along video to grasp the idea or to get updated on the new stuff, and the documentation and written tutorials for more in-depth info
