In my experience, books provide higher-quality tutorials to subjects than anything online. Not only that, but all of the information is in one place, saving you the time of searching through the masses of poorly-written and incomplete online tutorials. However, online is better than reference books. It also has more information on the latest trends and practices. But, you must be a very active reader to even know where to look for the latest information. And, you need to be very knowledgeable in the field to filter good posts from bad.
