My experience says the opposite. Sorry.

There's nothing to be 'sorry' about.

I made websites sporadically from '97-'03 and then started again in Dec '11. My criticism of w3schools is from my personal experience with the site over the last year.

I was surprised when I found out that w3schools actually intends to teach people html/css. Until recently, I thought it was universally acknowledged that they're a content farm.

A content farm with quizzes, a live editor and sequential lessons?
