I was implying that you write code and you practice/try things out as you're watching. Sorry should have explicitly mentioned that.

You learn by doing. If thats implied, then the medium through which baseline knowledge is delivered doesn't matter much. Pick the one that you get along with. If that's videos over books, so be it.

Ideally, you would watch videos from an intro course at stanford or MIT. Those are known for uploading such lecture series.
