W3Schools is much better than it was 10 years ago. My biggest problem with the site today is that the tutorials seem to be optimized for copy/paste rather than promoting secure, performant, idiomatic code. MDN is still the best resource for up-to-date, accurate, and detailed information on web technologies. 1.
Whether this is what W3Schools tried to do, I don't know, but I don't like it. The best source for web documentation is Mozilla Dev Network. This is almost always more complete and more authoritative than W3Schools. It’s a good free resource, yes. Also check out The Odin Project and Free Code Camp.
I believe the comment was directed at w3schools, the content of the post. Certificates can be useful, but it depends on where you are getting them from. Most people are more interested in how you work, hence the demonstration or portfolio of past work. Certifications should largely be viewed as a catalyst for learning or garnish to your portfolio.

W3 has great documentation on browser API's as well as basic JS, CSS, and HTML. They even provide version compatibility charts. GFG is nice for looking up algorithms and data structures if you forget them. Both are also good for casual browsing for things you haven't learned. TP is ok-ish.
W3Schools actually puts effort into making things easy to understand and simple. W3Schools in the past used to have false info but they fixed it and nowadays it's a great resource for leaning new things. MDN is okay but really disorganized and not at all geared towards beginners.
W3Schools seems pretty decent at the moment, they have explained everything a a nice format (apart from the odd page that feels like a dictionary) i just wish you could log in to save specific pages. i enjoyed most of the things they have taught me, compared to learnpython, learnpython feels worse for begginers. it feels really short on any ...
W3Schools at utmost is reasonable for web dev, but not for other programming. Reply reply [deleted] • I ...
