None of the altenatives listed by W3Fools appear to counter the overwhelming advantage of W3Schools in that you can quickly look up information on a given html attribute or css selector. The site is essentially one big cheat-sheet.
Unless W3Fools puts up a credible alternative (the open wiki demand is unlikely to be entertained for an instant) then the war would seem to over just as the first shots are being fired.
- aapl 16y agoWhat's wrong with Mozilla Developer Network HTML and CSS references? https://developer.mozilla.org/en/HTML/Element https://developer.mozilla.org/en/HTML/Element https://developer.mozilla.org/en/CSS_Reference https://developer.mozilla.org/en/CSS_Reference Granted, the HTML reference doesn't have by attribute directory.
- evilpie 16y agoAtleast Global attributes are listed. https://developer.mozilla.org/en/HTML/Global_attributes https://developer.mozilla.org/en/HTML/Global_attributes The rest should be easy to find in conjunction with some element.
- joelanman 16y agoCouple of clever things about W3schools learning experience that are missing from Mozilla's site: - Working examples. W3Schools leads with them - Mozilla doesn't seem to have any. - The 'try it yourself' feature. Nothing cements learning like playing around with the concepts for yourself. compare the img entry for both: http://www.w3schools.com/tags/tag_img.asp http://www.w3schools.com/tags/tag_img.asp https://developer.mozilla.org/en/HTML/Element/img https://developer.mozilla.org/en/HTML/Element/img
- paulirish 16y agoThanks very much for that feedback. I'm summarizing the discussion in order to deliver some actionable feedback to the Mozilla team. :)
- kevinburke 16y agoI couldn't find any tutorials for beginners on Mozilla's site.
- Pewpewarrows 16y agoHTMLDog and Sitepoint are much better direct lookup for beginner's resources. The Google videos are great tutorials for beginners. And when you want to get down and dirty with the specifics and specs, the W3C, Opera, and Mozilla docs are there to help. There's absolutely no reason to use W3Schools considering the awful amount of inaccuracies and rotten advice they teach to people starting out.
