If you are looking at MDN Web docs and you are confused, look at w3schools.

tbh i dont think i’ve ever needed w3schools, mdn has always been plenty for me.
Yeah. w3schools sucks imo. It's full of outdated or incomplete information. MDN not only gives more up to date info, it's also more comprehensive. Sometimes it also gives some good guidelines to wether use something or use an alternative etc.
w3schools sucks and I suck at web development so we make a good couple 👍
Same-- MDN is S-tier, usually.
I like w3 css
Did they get their act together? Because the w3 schools I grew up with was outdated, incomplete, and inaccurate.
When I checked in 2019, they definitely cleaned up.
But I still won't use them as primary resource. Not even secondary.
If I was a noobie dev today, I'd rather ask AI and get sources.
It's what I do. MDN first, chatgpt second. Everything else is third.
Kids these days*. When I learned HTML, it was straight from the cow's teat.
- … are just great, and don’t let anyone tell you otherwise
I'm laughing out loud here, cow's teat 😂
W3s is where is starts for me. Then move to MDN for more specific and in depth things. W3s just gives the best examples and has that lovely playground for every documentation step.
Just want to drop devdocs.io here for anyone who might benefit. It's an aggregation of many different popular documentation works from different projects. All in one place. One tab. Imagine one tab of documentation.
Don't forget the documentation of your web framework as well as the language features!
Imagine using a framework. I write spaghetti code myself mind you.
