Introduction
Call me strange, weird, or perhaps most kindly, eccentric – I prefer to learn via textual materials – books, articles, written courses, etc. As a general principle, I loathe learning via video.
This is a bit of a challenge as video seems the preferred way to learn for most folks. We see huge numbers of resources for those interested in video-oriented courses – e.g., Udemy.
This holds true for many software development courses as well – e.g. Treehouse and Pluralsight. On this page I’ve attempted to gather together textual, interactive courses on software development.
Do you know of others? Am I mistaken and one of these is video? I’d love to know!
