Why I Prefer Web And Video Tutorials To Ebooks

In this modern, dynamic age we live in, almost everything has gone electronic; from a simple toasting machine that could make your breakfast to the belfie that could be used to take a picture of your butt.

Books have also gone electronic. So, you could find books electronic copies of tutorials and a complete course on a programming language. This is good but I cannot rely on them anymore. Not because you could sleep off while reading an Ebook. Some of these books were writing in the 90s when the programming language was either discovered or in its early stages. While some changes were being made on their compilers and the language itself ON THE WEB, these ebooks were being corrected and re-uploaded without the downloader’s knowledge.

Once, I got tired of searching for the latest ebook to keep up - I googled almost everything, visited sites like w3cschools, codecademy for updated, real time courses and downloaded video courses too.

I’m not saying you should not get these ebooks, there’s a lot of history in them but the codes in it could have been modified to look shorter i.e The “background color” could later become “bg color” and “message_box” could be “msg_box” any year within an update. So, I rely more on the web more to keep up with these updates.
So, don’t throw your ebooks away but don’t put all the codes you find in them into an argument; your opponent could be a web person and you won't win.
