          Honestly I have much less of a problem with some degree of inaccurate info than wasting my time by not immediately geting to the point in concisely giving me the bit of syntax I was searching for to begin with. That’s what they’ve always got right that other sources were getting wrong.

          I’m pretty sure that trademarks were invented so companies could prevent confusion like this by using the legal system. That way no-one can try profiting off a similar branding, and no-one can harm their reputation by making poor products apparently in another company’s name. W3C has a trademark registration for their name. https://www.w3.org/trademarks/

          Oh so I have absolutely no reason to even like w3c at all? Dont use w3cschools much anymore these days. I know they have other stuff for more languages but theres better resources when it comes to those.

            What’s your issue with the W3C?

              They allowed for the inclusion of DRM into HTML5. This DRM is not open-source, can’t even be source audited and refused to back down. Such a move caused the EFF (electronic frontier foundation) to resign from the group. Here’s the EFF’s letter where they outline these issues if you want to give it a read: https://www.eff.org/deeplinks/2017/09/open-letter-w3c-director-ceo-team-and-membership

              I could also write about them bowing to Google but the DRM thing annoys me more.

              And then Tim Berners-Lee has the audacity to complain about the state of the internet. Something his group could’ve actually stopped or slowed.

          Big +1 for MDN.

          The Mozilla Developer Network should be considered the standard reference for frontend HTML, CSS, and JavaScript.

          (Aside from, you know, the actual standards. But those documents aren’t exactly approachable for new developers.)

          Oh yeah. Forgot that exists. Their image-border generator was far better than the w3c equivalent.
