I must agree that video tutorials are harder to follow, specially if and 
when they are if at least a bit outdated. I used to hate them however; I've 
learned to appreciate them specially because of one reason: *YOU CANNOT 
COPY AND PASTE.*

Written tutorials don't help you go thru the full learning process and make 
you a master of [Ctrl]-[C] & [Ctrl]-[V] since you're not even checking the 
code nor make sense out of it, let alone memorizing it.

Back in the day, when written tutorials were handed to you on paper, 
probably as photocopy of some else's photocopy (bis), you would learn by 
typing the code yourself. It is online tutorials that I find not as helpful 
anymore.

Now, don't get me wrong, I have found lost of excellent online tutorials. 
The problem is that it is all too easy to copy and paste.

IMHO (and at least in programming) written tutorials are for the very first 
baby steps but once you've outpaced those; you need to move away from them, 
even if we are talking about learning a new programming language, tool, 
framework or paradigm.
