Hi Everyone (Tree Students :D),
Sometimes i get so much bored when i'm trying to complete a course.
I get so much tired sometimes, I even hardly keep my eyes open, But that never happened when i was READING a tutorial.
I made this topic to ask you Which way you prefer Learning by reading a great tutorial or watching it? I definitely prefer reading.
This happened often when the videos are more than 5 minutes... Because i have to watch the monitor for 5 minutes and just keep listening until the video ends.
TeamTreehouse is great, the teachers are great, No doubt about that, I'm a treehouse student and always will be, i was just thinking about the courses in other way, without video, specially like CodeCademy.
Share your thought,

I have read the transcript and watched videos depending on what I needed. The find function really helps locate something in the transcript to then jump to the right spot in the video if it is something on screen only.
