I spent a long time with C++ and my learning was primarily through books. However, I also think that not everyone learns best by reading. Some learn better by listening, some by doing and some by observing others do something. For someone of such disposition, it might be more beneficial to follow a MOOC than to solely study the subject from a book.
- fbomb 9y agoI literally just finished reading an article on how the myth of learning styles keeps getting debunked - https://www.theatlantic.com/science/archive/2018/04/the-myth-of-learning-styles/557687/ https://www.theatlantic.com/science/archive/2018/04/the-myth...

I've never been a great believer in learning styles, but I do know that for me, it's far, far more convenient to watch a video and read a smaller amount of text than to have to solely read a book. I read text all day. Watching a video is novel and exciting, and I think I tend to pay more attention because of it. But that's just anecdotal. Grinds my gears when people suggest that "books are the best way to learn" any kind of programming language.
