Are there non-video tutorials on various languages?

Question

PHP

In general, it so happened that I lousy perceive information from video courses. It is much easier for me to skim through the text in order to understand that I don’t need this at all, and this moment should be re-read five more times. And immediately practice.
And here I will give the “same” JavaRush as an example: here you have text without video, and exercises directly on the site, and a mega-feature - a plug-in for IDEA to perform their tasks right in the environment, which is very convenient. Everything would be fine, but only in Java, too much fun (yes, I need sadness, cloudiness and oblivion), and there are only 10 free ones, and they still haven’t made 40+ levels for specific technologies.
“Games” like CodeHunt are not very interesting, “snippet” tasks like CodeWars are too small.
Yes, there are all sorts of Codeschool and others (I already got confused in all of them). But there are either web technologies or the very beginnings of programming. If I'm wrong, please correct me.

Answer 1

There are such things, books are called, they used to say it was fashionable.

Answer 2

Went to the people. Here people learned to program according to Kernighan and Richie, they didn’t get out of the official manuals when there was no Internet yet. And now beginners are asking for educational games, and even in a convenient format and for free.
What's next? Will they learn to program from cartoons and magazines with stickers?

Answer 3

It's better to go straight ahead and study PL directly from the PL documentation!

Answer 5

Well, I agree, for different people the degree of perception of information is a psychophysiological feature of each. Someone perceives video, someone perceives audio, someone text ...
Personally, my opinion, no matter how it is, the main method of study should be what suits you best, and the rest should also be used as an addition.
For example, an interested person who asked a question will probably be more effective for him: reading technical documentation, books, articles, blogs, websites is like the main one. It is natural to study all this together with practice, testing everything that I have read. It will be useful to consolidate the studied material through video or audio lessons, video lectures, it is useful to participate in various conferences and communicate with colleagues in reality.

Лично я делаю так: нахожу какую-нибудь книгу (тут же, на тостере, можно найти десятки, если не сотни рекомендаций), и по мере того, как там описываются языковые конструкции, функции, библиотеки, примеры и т.п., тут же открываю блокнот/ИДЕ и пишу какой-нибудь код, синтетический пример с их использованием, иногда экспериментирую, компилирую и смотрю, что получилось.
А лучше всего написать что-нибудь своё, какую-нибудь простенькую программку (сначала консольную, потом можно и за ГУИ взяться), которая, например, парсит файлы или веб-страницы, или автоматизирует какую-нибудь рутину, или даже простенькую игру — короче говоря, пишите то, что интересно лично вам. Гарантирую, тогда будет и веселье, и грусть, и пасмур...
If the idea turns out to be unbearable, try to find open source analogues of your future program and study their source code, learn from the model.
No online courses, assignments, etc. will not replace real development experience. I am not saying that they are not needed at all, but it is necessary to simultaneously engage in independent work.

“Games” like CodeHunt are not very interesting, “snippet” tasks like CodeWars are too small.

Traditionally, the ideal option is to do a project that is interesting to yourself and learn the language at the same time. And a lot of coding. No exercises and games will give you that.

Answer 8

More or less courses from lynda.com and itvdn (until 2016)
