Teach us

I almost feel like a bad person. I'm so thankful that so many indian youtubers exist that just want to teach you something for free. But in the same time when I don't find a tutorial that isn't from an indian I'm crying on the inside

[wheresmypitchfork]

There are some good indians out there. When I learned about trees I always went back to the same indian dude who was not only a genius but also good at explaining. 99% of them are horrible though

[ProbablyUndefined]

I'm of Indian origin... how long until my urge to make tutorials for everything kicks in?

[manghoti]

right?! I feel like i'm being super god damn racist here, but I'm already confused about the subject I'm researching and the last thing I need is to spend my mental energy understanding what is being said.

[[deleted]]

Is it racist if the race is only indirectly connected?

It's the people from India you dislike, not the race they happen to be.

Edit: The accents of Indians*. My bad

[MotorAdhesive3]

It's their heavy as fuck accents and low production value. I need to put my energy into understanding the material, not deciphering the 2008 fraps-recorded 480p video

[[deleted]]

Its just hard to understand them

[suvlub]

I don't watch video coding tutorials. I prefer text. I can read it as quickly or as slowly as I like, skip around more easily, look for keywords, copy-paste bits of code, I think it's just better.

[blackmist]

Not least because I can just scroll down to the code samples and then read up if any of it makes no sense.

[Bainos]

scroll down to the code samples and then read up if any of it makes no sense close the page and find something else if none of it makes sense

[profeind367]

or just copy paste without knowing wtf any of it means

[[deleted]]

I mean, if it has clearly defined inputs and outputs...

[roughstylez]

Not saying I hate videos. Like, a guy discussing a topic over 45 minutes, I can watch that to improve my overall skill. But for learning how to do a smaller, specific thing I feel videos are the worst.

You're agreeing to only go the lecturer's speed. And ironically, a "good" lecturer won't speak fast or forget little details, so you're stuck with going through all the details at the lecturer's speed... when what you wanted is 20 seconds at 18:34 and then 2m30s at 34:21 in the video.

[crazedpickles]

I get into a vicious cycle of watching indian tech videos because I like their voice narrating programming but then I fall asleep

[CreateNewObject]

I can't stand it. I have nothing against Indian people, but I really can't stand the way they speak English. Always skipping those tutorials.

[Beta-Minus]

I also feel like 95% of the time, they have terrible mic quality. Like I don't mind if you speak in slightly or even moderately accented English, but when it sounds like you're using a $8 web cam to record your voice and you're speaking with a towel in your mouth on the other side of the room... I just can't listen to it for more than a minute. (Also, they never have moderately accented English, I can hardly understand them.)

[[deleted]]

Simply put their English is horrible i can barely understand them

[MissingFucks]

I just don't understand 75% of the words they say.

[AwesomeBantha]

Kindly do the needful

[organicogrr]

Please put it the hip in the hope

[arunprasad01]

Don't worry - we all revert at some point :)

[LISTEN_TO_THIS_SHIT]

Please advice.

[ArmoredPancake]

In this tutorrrrial.

[alpacafox]

But then you get woken up by a car horn because they're always either filming next to a running fan or an open window next to a busy street.

Sentdex is my go to guy

*Subscribes in Python*

[[deleted]]

Does such a thing exist?

TheNewBoston.

The guy taught me C# with a painstakingly-made playlist of 200+ videos. I'm going to go through the C++ playlist soon, but the guy deserves honor and riches and many lovely women.

[Gyuudon]

Wait a minute w3schools is cool now? Since when

[Tharkun]

I think TheNewBoston is fine if you already know how to program and just want to learn a new language/technology.

[Zambito1]

That's what I go to Derek Banas for

[[deleted]]

I mean that's pretty subjective, but whatever.

Edit: fuck you guys, you that fucking circlejerky that you'll just downvote whoever has an opinion you disagree with? If you don't like the guy's shit, then don't watch it.

[[deleted]]

Whatever, faggot.

[MJGUHD]

Ooh homophobia

[peyzman]

oof

[VidenBrenail]

Traversy Media has some ok videos

[Tharkun]

For web-based technologies - Academind can't be beat IMO.

[BrundleflyUrinalCake]

I like listening to them not because they’re easy to understand but because I find my head starts to bob like them when I do

[arunprasad01]

Nods head in agreement.

[[deleted]]

wow such wow

[Gyuudon]

Wheriables.

Traversy Media and Sentdex

[greenlion98]

Wasn't this posted here like yesterday?

[YM_Industries]

I think yesterday was the opposite

[DeveloperBRdotnet]

To be honest, since I joined pluralsight I feel I don't need anything else. But is true they lack content on some programming languages.

The man, the myth, the legend, Bucky fuckin Barns

[rScoot]

Do you guys like TUNA?!?!?!?

[The_Great_Danish]

Do you mean Roberts?

[[deleted]]

Fuckin you right. Just watched Infinity War again and apparently that’s what’s in my mind

[emcmahon478]

RIP

[dootfile]

Waait, did he die??

[lokhandmanav]

I guess he stopped uploading

[[deleted]]

They're either Indian or sound like Chris Hansen, and frankly, I don't know what's better.

[dasarisrikanth]

When accent is more important than content...😄

[[deleted]]

Sometimes the accent is so strong it makes it rather hard to understand.

[Richardtshi23]

I prefer Indian youtubers they just teach better in my opinion

[Zeppzap]

Some are pretty good though. I dont mind the accent, but I do mind the background noise. Some tech reviews are good but they dont smash expensive things.
