W3SchoolsReviews 42

W3Schools has helped me immensely over the years, whether I was merely messing around with some coding on my own, or even for designated school projects, W3schools helped me pass my programming class with a perfect 100%.

Let's delve into the actual content of the website. W3Schools sports full, in-depth tutorials on around 30 different languages. Quite a bit of coding to choose from! The most significant for me have been HTML, CSS, and JavaScript. If you don't understand the context of the coding or how it would look, they even have programmed examples with an option to look at them and change the coding live to see how it affects the output.

W3Schools also has several other useful tools, such as a hexadecimal color picker, and full references for every single programming language they cover. I have used both of these tools and found them extremely helpful.

A lot of people reviewing this website seem to be missing a few points of the website, so let me run over some complaints.

Amanda J. Says that W3Schools offers "fake certificates."
This website is not meant to meant to be used as a formal education. The certificates on this website aren't meant to have business value but are only supposed to show you completed the course in a fun way. This is similar to the way Code.org gives a "certificate" after completing a course. You aren't going to get college credibility for completing the Minecraft game on Code.org. You need to understand the internet better.

Several people have also complained that the information on the website is outdated.
Rather than reporting the error on their website. With the "report error" button. Yes, if you scroll down to the bottom of a page that you happen to find incorrect, then you will find the magical "report error" button. See photos for proof. Still, I have personally never really encountered but 1 or 2 errors in W3Schools, and it would help if people would use photographic proof in the reviews to show these errors they are talking about.

Scammy website that offers fake certificates. If you get a certificate, it is useless and no business interviewer will accept them. I tried their certification and it was a complete waste of money and time. One interviewer even told me that if you mention about getting a W3Schools certificate that they will immediately reject your application. Also most of the information on their website is outdated or wrong.

I can tell you from experience that this is one of the best places to learn web programming. They have made it easy to learn buy giving you examples and also a place to try them out. I have taken many college level advanced programming classes and I would say that this website goes hand in hand with them. One of the best things is its free and you can teach yourself. They teach all the most common languages for web programming and do it in an easy to understand way. Just like anything else don't try to jump into PHP before you learn the basics like HTML or Java Scripting. The only reason I say that is that is that is the kind of thing that I have done in my life before I realized you have to start from the start. So give it a try and don't give up like any language it takes some time to learn in the begging but as you become more familiar with it, it becomes easy to build upon it.

This is the most exhaustive reference for all things web development! It should be considering these are the guys who decide what the whole browser language should be and act like. If it were not for this great resource I would be left in the lurch for many a problem I have face in writing good code.

I hope they continue to progress with their schools program to educate more people in what is the language of more and more business these days. So if you are in the market for learning about all things web, then this is almost a one stop reference!
