I may sound biased because I already work in that industry but... video 🙈
Videos and docs work together like a charm! So, when I'm learning something new or brushing up on old concepts, I usually start with the official docs. Then, I move on to watching videos that demonstrate practical applications. But you know what? The real magic happens when I actually put all that newfound knowledge into action. That's when those concepts really start to stick in my brain.
A + B + Practice.
Learning without practice is not effective.
B Docs, BOOKS
Some times A when concepts are difficult to explain on text

As a co-founder, my preferred method of learning is a combination of hands-on experience, continuous self-education through books and online resources, and learning from experienced mentors or industry experts. This approach helps me stay adaptable, informed, and fosters practical knowledge for decision-making in our company.

Definitely videos! They're way more engaging and immersive than boring old books. Who has time to read when you can watch and learn? Videos all the way!
Mostly A
Sometimes B
But almost always C: Learn by doing
Nice Question Sneha
Books are better for learning because when we read, we pay closer attention and understand more. Watching videos can lead to distractions and make it harder to remember what we learned.
BUT
When it comes to learning about new features, functionalities, implementation methods, and innovative concepts, videos are often more effective than text content. In social media and other platforms, videos are especially beneficial as they offer engaging visual demonstrations and make it easier to grasp complex ideas.
I find myself leaning towards videos nowadays as they offer more detailed and succinct explanations. However, video content tends to focus on specific problem-solving. Although I read less these days, I firmly believe that the most significant advantage of reading books lies in 'systematic learning,' which is indispensable for improving one's professional competence
Videos for sure.
