When I use the internet to learn, I don’t want to have to spend 2 minutes watching an advert, then try to decipher an accent I can barely understand whilst a 15 year old speed runs the task whilst seemingly skipping crucial steps in a video.

I want the steps written down. Maybe with diagrams.

I’m old. Learning is hard enough.

    I’d like to learn the game engine Godot but all the lessons are videos. It’s much harder to learn in the livingroom and write code when you’re learning from a video

      Oh. That is where all the useful information is. I have been struggling with it for weeks and finally managed to get something working. Is it done the right way? Who knows! Their documentation is sometimes rather less than helpful. If their website decides to behave. Sometimes it goes a little wonky, though it has been better the last couple weeks.

          I may take a look, but I am doing everything in C#. I have a really hard time paying attention to videos, especially if it is a bunch of content/features/examples where only a small part pertains to what I am doing. I would also have to start and stop constantly to try and take notes and hope the auto caption works. ADHD woes. Hopefully they supply all of the source code and project files.
