| W3Schools is the site programming hipsters love to hate... after they've discretely used it to get going in their programming. A lot of people also use it to get going in their design careers. It was the original widely used instant evaluation site (you can type some code into an evaluator and see the result). Hilariously, the main W3Schools hate site, W3fools.com, is one of the truly most horrendous looking sites I've ever seen. That site would have been considered horrendous in 1996, much less now. It shows that the detractors of W3Schools are just insecure hair splitting code nuance boffins totally out of touch with what a lot of people need to do in their day to day work. I'm not affiliated with W3Schools in any way, other than having been a happy user for quite some time, along with MDN and all the other good resources. The people who spend their time hating W3Schools are most likely the conceited bastards at work who inject two second pauses into their expressionless answers for questions from the new programmers. The people who haven't decided hating W3Schools is worth a lot of time are probably those nice people at work who deduce what a new programmer is needing, and happily line you out with enthusiasm. |
