W3schools is a piece of shit that shouldn't be used anyway. They publish inaccurate information and always have. Plus, we have mdn, a similar concept for a website just executed 1000% better.
I've just started learning to code. ._. I have no Idea yet what is good and what not. I just looked up an example for Boolean and W3 Schools was the first that came up.
Why is it so bad? Everything Ive read so far from there was pretty accurate. But it was mostly beginner Stuff tho.
Like I said, they have incorrect information. I can't recommend MDN enough, especially because they have browser compatibility info
Beginner stuff is good enough as far as I remember, just try not to rely on it too much in the long term (since MDN is also a good alternative)
I don't think it's bad--it's impossible to make error-free material, and it's more error-free than not, for sure.
But other people are right: you'll "graduate" to MDN and not look at W3 Schools again.
Someone likes fish
What?
W3schools does tend to be more beginner friendly that MDN
Yes, programming is not fun
Uh, what?
