You want to learn something and the internet has offered you four hundred ways to do it. This cuts the pile down: it pins your actual goal (grasp the idea, use it at work, or go pro), matches it to how you learn best, and points you at the one resource that fits instead of the most popular one. For when choosing has become the thing stopping you starting.
