A few years back I found the youtube series where it was creating a video game from scratch. The pace was too much for me to commit to but for a number of episodes (feels funny calling them that) I was able to follow along. I've tried other sites in video format and found its hard because the presenter will fly through whatever and you start to feel lost. I found myself pausing videos for some period of time and trying to catch up and that is jarring.

Sometimes the presenter will have some setup or just mention a config and if you aren't on the exact same version of IDE/editor then everything looks different and you're lost. Then there is the larger problem of older videos are 100% irrelevant if the stack of tech they use has had recent updates. Maybe this is more game programming related because major version changes will have menus moving around or new/different options. I would imagine a new person to web development would feel the same if videos were on IDE version 1 and that IDE is on version 3 now (replace IDE with editor or whatever you use).

When I tinker with something new and there is a written setup guide, its much easier to follow along. I almost think video streams aren't the right format for learning.
