I really like the “positive reviews should look like X, negative reviews should look like Y” information. I’ve never seen it before, and I expect it to actually be useful when looking for resources.
I’m cofused by how “deep” and “surface” are being used in your first picture. From how the “What” and “How” books are described (and from the examples you give), I would have called “What” the deep resource, and “How” as the “surface level” resource. How are you thinking of it?
This may be because of my particular learning style. I tend to get most of my deep learning from the actual application of the skill, which is based on the how resource. I use the what resource in a very surface way, just getting particular facts or techniques when I’m stuck. However, I agree that What books tend to cover material in a deeper way
I think I can relate. You made me notice that there are two things I could point to when talking of “deep learning”. One is “making a piece of knowledge or information a deeply ingrained, easily accessible piece of me” and the other is, “not having any whole in my conceptual understanding, every piece of info is well connected in my knowledge graph and well motivated, and things make sense in a powerful way”.
The old fashioned way I suppose, going by the reputation of the creator and the description they provide. I think readily available reviews are often worth going with a medium that has them though.

I have a question in a similar vein—how would one go about finding resources that don’t have immediately available reviews—videos, blogs, etc?
