Searching for "topic + lecture" on Youtube gives me the best hits. I rather hear a knowledgable person just talk about a topic, than some poorly animated storytelling about the same thing, done by a Youtuber with shallow knowledge


It's the YouTube equivalent of hitting up Google Scholar, rather than regular google for information. I also really recommend using Google Scholar for anything technical. You skip blog spam, and end up with better and more informative stuff.


That's probably great as well, but I'm talking about searching for a book author.

Just for example Clean Code is a great book, but the presentation is so much better:
