I see many people asking questions on Stack Overflow about the best training courses/materials/tutorials/books/... to learn a particular technology. Here's an example which got closed as not constructive:

What online JavaScript programming courses are available, beginner or advanced, paid or unpaid?

I just wanted to hear what is the general opinion about those kind of questions.

• Off-Topic
• On-Topic on some other Stack Exchange site (in this case which?)
• Not constructive
• ... all the other close reasons you can think of

Or should they remain open? Should answers be tolerated and questions remain as future reference? I am asking this because I have seen both behaviors even if recently those questions are less tolerated than back in the early days of Stack Overflow.
