Projects and excessive notes. Books suck imo because they fall in two camps: not project oriented and just give away the answers or only look at things from an educational perspective, or written by some random schmuck who thinks their workflow is great and you should adopt it too.

Every book would be better if they wrote how to do stuff as if I was a moron and didn't know where step 1 was. While it's kind of annoying for people who've done it for a while, it's great because it covers EVERYTHING. Even that one little tid bit you are so used to that you forgot it exists.

Videos suck often because they are like 30 minute videos when they can just edit out the whole process of them typing and stuff. I want to see you get from point A to point B, but explain what is happening in between. Not see you type out the stuff. Just a waste of time. Not to mention reading off power points.
