I prefer W3Schools over MDN since W3Schools gets right to the point. MDN would rather have you read three paragraphs on the history of the feature you're trying to use, but I usually don't need a full history on my reference cards.
- m000z0rz 11y agoI think you nailed it here. I started learning SQL years ago from W3Schools, and it was great because it got right to the point. I can't imagine trying to get a handle on something completely new by starting with full reference material. Seems that people hate W3Schools for not being something it isn't supposed be?
- lloeki 11y agoMDN contains both guides[1] and reference documentation[0] (which I happen to have read some minutes ago). While I have seen the occasional digression on a particular history point that explains some particular design choice, I found references to be often concise, complete, to the point, and correct (even across browsers, providing details if need be). BTW w3schools apparently contains squat about MutationObserver. [0]: https://developer.mozilla.org/en/docs/Web/API/MutationObserver https://developer.mozilla.org/en/docs/Web/API/MutationObserv...
