Please, to anyone so passionately critical of W3Schools: Write highly-accessible tutorials that teach the way code _should_ be written. Until that happens, noobs will continue to rely on W3Schools (and perhaps Tizag.com) for learning the all-important first steps for programming. I have almost zero formal education with programming. Thanks to W3Schools and Tizag, I was able to get started and eventually become a technical co-founder of a startup. Looking back, here are some of the most important things I learned from these two sites: -HTML renders into a readable web page -Server-side code ultimately renders into HTML -The source for server-side code is private -The source for client-side code is public -You need a database to store data (not so obvious!) -You can organize code in certain ways to make your life easier (eg. writing functions) -The very basics of OO concepts Without W3Schools or Tizag, I _never_ would have learned these concepts. No one was going to sit down and teach me, nor was I going to magically deduce them. Bottom line: W3School lowers the barriers to entry for learning how to program. This can only be good for the startup ecosystem, and ultimately, for the economy.
