Ask HN: Is it possible to learn web dev/programming from videos?
Can you learn mainly from video tutorials? There are a lot of seemingly great paid ones out there and some also free ones. I'm having a hard time with reading but seem to be able to grasp concepts from videos fine.
I need to hear that I can learn enough mainly from videos to be employable as a web developer/software engineer.
I don't have a problem reading small amount of text like the description of what a function does and I can read Hacker News.

Are you currently learning via videos?

- gregjor 10y agoNo. You learn from doing. You can't make mistakes to learn from watching videos.
