    Yes? It was how I learned web development and as a beginner I found it tremendously helpful. Every other website took me through a bunch of canvas painting exercises which frustrated me because they never taught me how to actually build a website from scratch. The poster asked for the "best most creditable source" and in my opinion that website fulfills that criteria. Besides, the poster wants to pursue a career in this field so recommending them something "easier" would do them a disservice and waste their time.

  Yes, it has that and some of it is good for a beginner. But for a beginner, it also can be an overload of information that impedes learning momentum. It might also be due to the interface. Yes, knowing how to read and use documentation is very important. Yes, it is a well-covered documentation. My opinion is that the very start of learning, the learner should be guided through a series of specific gradual digestable learning, and there is a feedback loop on the process. There are better resources out there.
