What skills do you want to improve in the next few months? And how do you want to learn?

I learned adobe premiere to create promo videos for our app all through video tutorials. There is so much available and being able to create quick videos as needed is a really helpful skill when launching a new product.

@hannah_wright1 that's great ! Nothing is better than videos to learn how to make videos. Thanks for sharing đ
Articles and video. However it gets tougher to find a truly informative and useful articles
@marina_korobka I agree, there are a lot of click baits with unqualified content or limited content to promote something else...
@cica_laure_mbappe indeed! And there are so many articles with irrelevant to my question content(( If I search the article useful features on Etsy, I don't want to read the first half of the article about what is Etsy and its history. It's just an example, but gosh it's annoying((
I think Video is the most comfortable way to learn something especially tutorial. I prefer to watch YouTube when I want to learn these. E-Books and Articles are great for the time you need a brief description.
Article. I can highlight and save smth, with video I have to put extra time for writing
It strongly depends on the subject and context you're in.
Personally, I use 50/50 mix of video and articles.
BTW, does anyone know a great tool to make video highlights? Or to attach a note to specific time?
@artkhromov I agree with you. I would go for articles to learn how to take care of my plants, but I'd watch videos to learn something more technical (like sewing).
None of these - I want a problem to solve and a reference to learn the vocabulary I need to Google and get things done. Interactive tutorials are best for me - stuff like the learn panel in Adobe apps these days is great. Or a good set of documentation to get that vocabulary in my head. I need to be able to try things and fail safely, and ideally, have some context about why the right answer is the correct answer.
I usually apply this to learning new programming languages, but I think itâd be great with learning foreign languages, and when I was trying to learn to invest, I just threw money at things until I found out paper trading exists.
