The last year or so I really gotten into learning/exploring new languages and frameworks(don't flame me).
I used to do it the old fashion way of just reading the docs or doing some tutorial.. BUT what I found out this last year, learning a new coding languages (and all it's eco-system) the best way is to watch a good YOUTUBE video !
It's sooo underrated I think ! You get to see all the steps (I hate it when the web-based-examples have code-snippets but the omit the filenames !) Try doing that in a new language or framework that uses a LOT of files (java, angular etc), plus you can speed up the video, I watch most "learning videos" at 1.25x
- fastball 6y agoI watch all YT videos at 2x speed and it’s still a slower way of absorbing information than just reading.
- biddlesby 6y agoYeah, definitely agree. Reading is a much more efficient way to absorb information
- marcosdumay 6y agoOh, I try never to have a video at all. It's slow, hard to search, hard to go back, hard to jump useless stuff, hard to comprehend, and hard to interrupt. Yet, the GP's point stand. If you see the video of a person starting a python project, it won't be missing the `virtualenv` parameters that he would omit in the text tutorial. Video also beats anything else (except physical presence) on discovering what somebody did to cause a bug.
