This is cool. I think "visual learners" or whatever it's called are a bit on the fringe in CS but we do exist. When starting something new, I learn much more easily by video or discussion with people. As I become more comfortable with a subject, technical documentation becomes progressively more useful.
I'm the same way, I find a good series of lectures to be the best way for me to wrap my head around something. I think it's a combination of "visual" and "global" learning styles. A global learning style means you work your way from the big picture down to the details as opposed to "sequential" style where you are better off diving into a detailed problem and building your knowledge outward from there [0].
