Youtube is good but it also has a lot of noise. What I mean is that; everyone claims his/her video tutorial is the best. With that in mind, it then becomes very difficult to know who has actually developed a good video tutorial you can rely on.

Note that programming has many branches. As you did not specify the area of programming of interest to you; I will suggest that, you start with Udemy.com and or Lynda.com. However, Lynda.com is the best for beginners and you can progress to any level after having studied the basics. You will need to pay. Nothing good comes for free.

I hope it helps.

YouTube is good source but not optimum because you now YouTube basically not specialized in programming and it is for any video so support Mr.   Stanley Mathew who said that YouTube contain a lot of noise.

I suggest to depend on specialized website to learn programming like CodeAcadmy it is very proshisional source and easy to use also w3school very good to learn web programming.

Yes, festival you must branch to many positions to special language which you want to learn and take it with training step by step. The magic step what you must take is  building your own imagine which answer about  How  can be the complete your first program and start to build it step by step. good luck.

Youtube is always the best for learning, for once the youtube's runners put a rule that no controversial and hatred provoking content is posted on. it will become the best site.

Absolutely, even with years of experience, I use YouTube as a source to learn new technology concepts.  YouTube is a great place to get started on new material.  

 

Generally YouTube is best for people with greater "visual" perception gifting as opposed to people with auditory perception gifting. 

 

FYI - You are probably under selling yourself by saying "beginner" when you have4 years of experience.  :)

I do recommend, just try to find suitable and well reputed teachers, other than that you might find tutorials in your language as well, so its a good source...
