That said though, as a former teacher who's now a self-taught web developer, there are 2 things I mainly struggle with: how they structure the content in some courses - like rounded corners being categorized as advanced CSS or comparison operators in JS are taught way after array methods like push () & forEach ().
W3Schools is a good resource to learn JavaScript, but it's recommended to supplement your learning with other resources and to practice what you learn through building projects. It teaches bad practices, such as using var in modern JavaScript code. I wouldn't recommend it. no it doesn't.
Whether this is what W3Schools tried to do, I don't know, but I don't like it. The best source for web documentation is Mozilla Dev Network. This is almost always more complete and more authoritative than W3Schools. It’s a good free resource, yes. Also check out The Odin Project and Free Code Camp.
The Mozilla Developer Network was around but it did not have much support at the time. Today, W3Schools has largely resolved these issues and addressed the majority of the undersigned developers' concerns. For many beginners, W3Schools has structured tutorials and playgrounds that offer a decent learning experience.
W3Schools used to be worse than "alright", their information was outdated, often incorrect, and sometimes actively misleading. They used W3 in their name as a cheap SEO trick to try to seem more reputable. There was an entire website ( W3Fools) that was even created to call them out.
Other than (don't laugh) BASIC, HTML, and SQL, I never learned a programming language (although BASIC taught me some of the fundamentals of programming.) I see that w3schools is offering a Javascript certification. I was thinking about it since it's only $95 and it would be nice to have something on my resume that shows I know some programming.
It's really good for learning/Googling the basics (like HTML elements) before you move onto more complicated resources like MDN. It had a lower reputation due to some of their information being outdated, but most people still used it for quick references. 3. Reply. yoitsericc. • 3 yr. ago.
Nope, haven't. w3schools is about the best at showing the simplest, purest form of some aspect of Javascript without a bunch of clutter and superfluous concepts. I don't care what anyone says. I look forward to tutorials on ES6 from them. Still though, the cert is useless and probably not something you'd want to put on your resume considering ...
W3Schools actually puts effort into making things easy to understand and simple. W3Schools in the past used to have false info but they fixed it and nowadays it's a great resource for leaning new things. MDN is okay but really disorganized and not at all geared towards beginners.
Very old-fashioned code sometimes assigned the href attribute the value javascript:void(0) . This is basically a javascript statement that does nothing, so it keeps the link from behaving like a link without really doing anything else. You might also see some sort of "onclick" attribute in the tag also.
