Don't learn programming from youtube

I like to watch YouTube for recreational purposes. There are informative videos on YouTube and I do learn something watching them, but primary purpose is entertainment and a small learning is a good side effect. There are awesome programmers on YouTube and watching them program is like watching Olympics on TV and expecting to become a great athlete. Conference talks and podcasts are also in similar category, they will give you some soft skills but not the learning you might be expecting

I would rather invest time in a book. Type-in the code samples, try to compile them, there will be errors and result in firsthand learning.
