How to Start Learning Computer Programming

I just read through the list at W3Fools and the things they bring up are either already changed at W3Scools or something really minor they're nitpicking about. No information is not better than information with minor flaws.

I still believe it's a good resource which goes straight to the point. When I google something I want a straight-foward answer and not a complicated specification like the one at MDN or W3.org.

When I google something, I want information that won't leave me running in circles while I figure out why it's not doing what the docs say it's supposed to do. I've had that happen with w3schools more often than any other resource. It's a waste of my time, and I get better, clearer, and more accurate information from MDN and the W3C, so I've stopped googling such things and just go to the horse's mouth.
