I recently created a 2 Polls on Twitter posing a couple of questions \u2013 with a view to getting different perspectives on developers preferred approach to learning about new tech or concepts.<\/p>\n

The\u00a0first<\/strong>\u00a0question was:<\/p>\n

\n\"\"<\/p>\n

Results<\/strong><\/h2>\n

There were just over\u00a0300 votes<\/strong>\u00a0\u2013 so about\u00a010% engagement<\/strong>.\u00a0 Not massive, but enough to give an idea in terms of the types of content that resonate with other developers:<\/p>\n

  • Recorded video between 5-15 minutes<\/li>\n
  • Good old-fashioned blogs with accompanying code snippets<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n

    There were some other comments scattered throughout each thread with other insights:<\/p>\n

    \u201cI like code – but useful if there is a blog post there too just to point the way a little. Videos generally move too slowly for my tastes.\u201d<\/em><\/p>\n<\/blockquote>\n

    \n\u201c<\/em>I hate learning with video’s but that might be very personal, just prefer text\/reading over video as it makes it much easier to test\/try while you read\u201d<\/em><\/p>\n<\/blockquote>\n

    \nThe range is huge. But mostly I’m looking for short overviews of a topic coupled with long in-depth videos once I’ve decided to dig deeper.<\/em><\/p>\n

    People can’t talk as quick as I can read and when reading I can dive around more easily. Totally recognise its personal taste – I do videos myself because lots of people prefer that approach.<\/em><\/p>\n<\/blockquote>\n

    Some interesting opinions out there for anyone that\u2019s considering creating content or tutorials targeted at developers and food for thought!<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
