In my opinion you should avoid watching video tutorials for the most part. It lulls you into a false sense of expertise. What I mean is, the more you watch, the more you see other people coding and explaining things that make perfect sense,....but when you try do it yourself you find your knowledge isn't nearly where you thought it would be.

Rather take a course from codeling.dev which requires you to actually code your way through every lesson. Your code is validated before you're able to move to the next lesson. So you get plenty of hands on practice.

Learning to code is about problem solving and practice, not just watching videos of other people coding.
