I am going to have to suggest against this. In general, the programming YouTube videos suffer usually suffer from either a lack of good lesson planning or long, extremely boring, lectures. I've found a video here and there to be quite helpful, especially when I'm trying to rapidly learn something. For some this is the primary utility. But as a long term learning resource, they're disjunct, inconsistent, and generally time consuming. I've fallen in love with programming books which teach through code example. The one I've read most recently is "Node.js in Action". Love it.
