Everyone was/is a beginner at some point. Even if you think about other areas in life, you need to begin in order to improve, e.g. driving a car, riding a bicycle, using any tool, learning to cook, etc. That's why I recommended to do a tutorial first. A tutorial that is building a small project in a tech stack you are looking for.

For the text based, blogs, books or video courses, it is all up to you. Some people will do better with blogs, some with video courses - there is no general rule. I like text based tutorials because I usually want to try something on my own before continuing with the tutorial. That's why video courses don't work for me because my pace needs to be aligned with the pace from the video which is almost never the case.
