Watching videos to learn jave is about as effective as watching videos to learn how to ride a bike. 

You need to write code to learn, and you will fail badly at it at the beginning - and that's fine, we have all been there.

And when I say write, I don't mean copying stuff from a video.

...and that's precisely why OP in every single of their preceding posts got the Helsinki MOOC recommended.

I actually think they're a bot given the profile and this question.

I give them the benefit of doubt, especially should the age be true. The attention span towards reading is nowadays next to zero. If it isn't on video, it's useless (or doesn't exist). Best, the videos are no longer than the typical TikTok few seconds.

Can you guys recommend a video to summarize this thread? It's a lot to read.

Ask your favorite non-human-pretending-to-be-intelligence to summarize it
