Ask HN: Enough video content out there today to learn everything as web dev?

1 points by Onixelen ↗ HN
If you have a hard time reading, is there enough video content out there today for you to learn everything you should know as a web developer? It definitely seems like it.

Can this assertion also be extended to mobile and desktop software development and computer science and software development concepts?

Could you expand on "a hard time reading"? Is this only for long tutorials or for any text?

I believe https://teamtreehouse.com/ uses a lot of videos in their courses. However, I do think it would be challenging to learn to develop websites by exclusively relying on videos.

When developing a website, you'll come across various challenges, bugs, conflicts, etc., and a large number of them will require reading docs, help forums, etc., to solve.

Perhaps graphic design may be a better option?

I seem to have a hard time with long text. I seem to be able to read forums okay since I'm reading all this here. I had no problem reading what you wrote.

I was really looking forward to web dev.
