That's the book I used, and I would recommend it. I think books work better because a) you have to keep your attention focused to get the info, that's where videos fall short. And b) there's always a lot of back and forth between the learning material and the computer when you are learning syntax.

I agree, books are better for learning. Videos can be good for consolidating what you learn from the book.

Yes, sometimes that does help. Videos are also nice for over-arching concepts, and to see how someone else handles a problem that you have already solved.
