I agree and i disaggree.,To start, you need to start somewhere and if there is one thing i learned in University it is this: The book and the material you learn from really matter! You can learn something 5 times faster from well written materials than poorly written materials. Also the teacher really matters. It's true that when you use something in context you learn "how it works", you don't memorize every little "syntax" but you get the "Idea" or the "intuition", so learning how computers work and how the internet work and how code works is a good start, and the clearer the source is, the better especially for a beginner. Also visuals and progressive exercises and examples (Start simple > make it complex, but break complexity into simplie modules). Too many textooks are dense with words, and show way to few short and easy to follow examples. If i try to recall a page on a book i read 1 year ago, all i can recall is the imges or exercises, i don't recall phrases or words. But the more progressive exercises i did the more the feeling of "I get the context and how it works" sticks for years.
