My general view of the world, not specific to any one topic:

  • Books are one of my favorite ways to get introduced to a topic and learn the concepts/terminology around it.
  • Courses like my, learn AWS one, are in addition to the book. Like taking the book's concepts and showing how they work in the real world.

So I view them as going hand in hand really. But I think the main takeaway is that when you are learning something new it is important to understand the problem it is trying to solve. Once you know that, dive in and start using it as that is how you will learn even more in a short amount of time.
