I've noticed that many people prefer learning Data Structures and Algorithms (DSA) through video tutorials, but I find them a bit time-consuming. I'm wondering if it's feasible to learn DSA by just reading documentation and practicing each concept on my own. Will this method be too difficult or complicated without video guidance?

Short answer: Yes! Long answer: Reading computer science books, documentation, and tackling DSA problems yourself can deepen your understanding. It might start slowly, but as you solve more problems, you'll find your pace picks up. Just remember to check out discussion forums for help when you hit a bump.
You can absolutely learn DSA without videos! For decades, people have been relying on books and articles rather than video lectures. If you read a good book on DSA, you could end up with a much stronger grasp of the concepts than through videos alone. Plus, there are tons of online resources and simplified articles that can help clarify things as you go.
Could you recommend any specific articles or websites for reading the documentation? I’ve found GeeksForGeeks pretty helpful, but I’d love to know if there are even better resources out there!
