I also grew up learning programming via textbooks--there wasn't really a choice for me, pre-Internet. It had its pros and cons, but what I miss the most is being able to have a single well-written textbook that, when you were finished, you will have gained a solid understanding of the foundation and reasonable approaches on how to use the language. These days information is so much more readily available for free, but it feels so often I have to resort to reading StackOverflow, shitty YouTube videos, and even shittier OFFICIAL documentation from developers who obviously don't care about technical writing. Machine Learning is especially bad about this.
