W3C does not try to provide tutorials and guides for novices, but instead
caters to the detailed and precise needs of experts.
They provide two incredibly useful validators that can be used to find errors
in your HTML code or CSS code.
http://validator.w3.org/is their validator for HTML code.
39.1.2 Tutorials
http://www.w3.org/wiki/Category:Tutorialshas a list of educational
materials provided by the W3 Consortium.
W3Schools, which we talk about next, gets right to the point and tends to
answer my question immediately.
The W3 Consortium tutorials, on the other hand, try to be complete and
informative. Like me, they tend to be wordy.
So, my advice is start with the W3Schools. If you get your answer, you are
done. If you want more, try the W3 Consortium.
39.2 W3Schools is Amazing
By far the best online web development tutorial I have found is the one
by W3Schools. Because of its consistent usefulness to me, I am pleased to
provide links to many of the relevant webpages they provide.
W3Schools covers HTML, HTML5, CSS, CSS3, JavaScript, and many other
web technologies.
Warning: W3Schools is not affiliated in any way with the W3C consortium.
They are privately owned and operated. And they have been criticized
for sometimes providing outdated or incorrect information. I think such
criticism is a bit silly, but I should admit it exists.
By and large, though, I am very pleased with how easily they make infor-
mation available, and their generally high level of accuracy.
