Vanilla is better by far.
That said, I tend to learn best by doing; and by quickly skimming text
(often documentation) I can find the answer to my question. Videos are
hard to skim.

Is Chocolate Ice Cream Better than Vanilla?
It's really more of an opinion than a provable fact. I've done both,
read a bunch of books and watched some of the videos on Lynda.com.
I found them both very helpful, the videos more so than the books at
the beginning and the books more helpful now that I know "some" flex.
However, it may have been that the videos had the newbie more in mind
than the books did, or at least the books I had at the time.
I would recommend checking out Lynda.com and going through the basic
Flex training, then getting several of the Flex books that appeal to
what you want to get out of Flex.
