I may be in the minority, but I don't want to watch videos when learning how to use things. I want written tutorials that I can refer back to when necessary.

My big problem with tutorials in JS-land is that so many seem to assume too much background knowledge in the reader. Webpack has been no exception; as someone who generally doesn't do front-end stuff I have really had to dig around to find out how things actually work and find things like lists of valid options for different sections.
- ap3 10y agoI spent this morning watching functional js videos - it was great. Will be doing more of that in the future.
- sotojuan 10y agoHonestly this might sound rude but a lot of written tutorials/blog posts in JS are made by people with good intentions but not a lot of experience or expertise, so they end up hand-waving a lot or just not explaining things right. The linked video is by a long time, well-respected frontend developer.
- mobiuscog 10y agoI love videos to learn... but as someone working for a company that don't allow any videos through the firewall... written posts are also useful.
