Id never recommend learning something like scripting with video tutorials.
After all theyre nothing but common text tutorials, but in a reduced form, and often poorly made. Even well made video tutorial dont give any benefits imo: its about text, so how does it help to see someone typing that text? Do you need to learn how to use a keyboard, or how to use an editor?
Programming is something where own initiative is vital. You wont learn anything just by watching the videos, but you have to try stuff yourself, so after all youll keep switching between the video and an editor, pausing and unpausing, scrolling back and forth. And why go through such a straining chaos if you could just pick a well-structured text tutorial. Saves time and tears.
