Programming video tutorials or pdf's , which will you go for and why?

@Sparrow I'd go with PDFs, cause I find easier to read (I'm a fast reader) than waiting for the person in the video to finish up the sentence. Also it's possible to do a search for the term you actually need, there's no way you can do that in a portion of a video. To get it a bit further (being the luddite I am), I prefer actual paper books/notes/whatever than electronic press, because it causes less eye strain and I love the smell of paper... 😃

@Qaldim

You have inspired me to find one of my programming books, and read it again.

@Qaldim so inspiring. I start with videos. But I realised that books go into much details then the videos.

Now I'm glued to books (pdf's)

I would go for good content, no matter if it's on a video lectured by naked Emma Watson or written to a text file.

@Nelson I'd take the emma watson video, but otherwise pdf, as you don't have to pause videos to read/understand code.

I would recommend both. When you get bored with reading, you can have tutorials videos to watch it with *coffee* 😉. In the same way I learn C# and still learning.

PDF, but like above, I prefer an actual book. There's nothing like flipping back and forth through the pages, while the real estate on your screens are used for practice and play. And I like a full bookcase. It's the simple pleasures.

I prefer PDF.. Redding is faster than watching videos. And I can have my own visualisation on the topic.
