In my experience, learning by actually doing is the best way. You can't learn by watching someone else doing it

The material in each chapter can (and should) be finished in one week. There is a sufficient number of problems with solutions. The explanations are as short as possible, but not shorter. The exercises are ordered from easy to difficult. While the number of questions is not very large, almost every trick of the trade is covered by one of them.
