I was 16, I used to have a desktop computer which was running windows 7. I used to save up my lunch money to buy programming language books. C was ...

It depends on the situation.
Tutorials can be useful to learn about a specific area and get a practical introduction. Books tend to be better for explaining theory and concepts overall or have them as a reference to lookup things in, for whatever the topic may be. This also depends on the purpose of the book - explanation or reference.
This is a very detailed and logical explanation. Thank you so much Erik!
I wish I had the patience. I can never just sit down and read a programming book. I put it next to me when I am by the computer, to follow the steps, but end up getting distracted and never getting past two pages
I face the same situation when I'm a bit anxious. Specially during those days before exams. Thank you for your feedback Daniel.
Books are great for general concepts as they give you more knowledge and you will have more understanding of a specific language than others how simply rely on vid tutorials
For example when I started learning about js from books I understand a lot of concepts which I see others struggling with
and of course you will have to learn from tutorials cause they are more up-to-date specially full courses as they give the experience of other developers
I couldn't agree more! Thank you.
I'll go for docs instead of those two🙌👍
That sounds very interesting Yash. May I know why you prefer docs?
Umm... I choose docs because it's made by developers for developers and docs are best resource for reference.
You don't really have choose.
The training is the foundation, and the book is a good complement to it.
In my opinion it is necessary to give courses 40% of time, books 10%, and practice 50% for the quickest results.
That's how they do it in college (only in bad universities they give less time to practice).
It depends, if I am looking for a very specific solution I go with tutorials. I go for book when I trying to understand deeper concepts.
Thank you for sharing this with me Gabriel.
Since I started learning from tutorials, I haven't read from books which I used to do earlier at the beginning of my college days. Although I would say this has affected my hobby as a reader too.
I hope you are enjoying learning!
Thank you so much. I'll look into them.
When you are with pc then video tutorials, when you are not, then books also when you are tired of looking pc screen books again. This is my way, but It is totally how do you enjoy it.
I often get tired of look at the pc screen. That's why I print out my power point slides and read them from hand note.
