There is not much on Youtube to help one actually learn string theory, so I thought these lectures (given by Davide Gaiotto of the Perimeter Institute at the 2013-2014 PSI - NOT my videos! All rights, credit, etc. go to the Perimeter Institute, which can be found at the website linked to below) would be a nice addition. All the videos come from, and can be downloaded from in various formats and from previous years, the Perimeter Institute (where these lectures took place) website:

Before attacking these topics, it would be wise have first have familiarity with quantum field theory. Excellent lectures on these topics given by David Tong (of Cambridge) and Francois David at the Perimeter Institute in 2009 and 2011, respectively, can be seen here:

In addition to that, you can check out the wonderful lectures on string theory and M-theory by Leonard Susskind at Stanford:

You can also find lectures from the 2011-2012 PSI review course, given by Freddy Cachazo:

Moreover, there are TONS of books on the subject. I personally suggest the following two for introductions:

http://www.galaktiskeparti.no/PDF%20files/String%20Theory...
The classic textbooks are:

There's also David Tong's notes:
