Textbooks are the best source for CS. The web is actually very shallow when it comes to getting a real series of 'graded tutorials' and subject matter.

I try to buy my books from book stores. There is nothing like flipping through a book to assess it and is an ideal way to spend a couple of hours in a lazy afternoon. I envy people living in big Cities where the super book stores reside!

I agree wholeheartedly; I wrote a couple of posts a few months ago about the problems with web learning, the first is linked from the later one which is here: http://williambswift.blogspot.com/2009/04/overcoming-bias-an... .

EDIT: The first post actually does a better job of describing what the web currently is good for in learning.

Excellent post hit the nail on the head. Besides the actual buying of a book from a bookstore has something of a religious feeling for me :)
