There are thousands of software development tutorials on YouTube. It can be quite the task to find good tutorials or those which are more suited to your learning style. I would like to introduce you to what I consider to be the best YouTube channels with tutorials. In the meantime, please read why I consider these to be the very best.

These kind people have a way of explaining software concepts that ropes you in with interest. In addition to teaching how to write compelling software, they also tell us about the industry as a whole and their real-world experiences. Some of them also offer paid courses on Udemy and other platforms. I suggest purchasing the paid courses after getting a taste of their style from watching YouTube. The courses go much more in depth and teach you to build a wider variety of applications.

Whatever you do, don’t allow yourself to get trapped in “Tutorial Hell”. That term describes a state where students find themselves stuck in a revolving door of tutorials while lacking the ability to actually create there own projects.

The problem is that some people simply follow tutorials in order to complete the project being demonstrated. They are too focused on just following instead of learning and applying.

The best advice for taking tutorials is to start developing your own project alongside that of the tutorial. This will keep you more motivated and allow you to make real-world use of the concepts explained by these fantastic instructors.
