Online HTML/CSS/Javascript learning reference alternative to w3schools? [closed]

Answer 1

There are too many good references out there, but these are my two cents. Hope it helps:

• Great tricks, references and examples: http://www.quirksmode.org/sitemap.html

• Nice step by step: http://nearlythere.com/mite03/css-tutorial/

• Cheat sheets (pretty cool!!): http://sixrevisions.com/resources/cheat_sheets_web_developer/

Answer 2

• blooberry.com
• MSDN (HTML & CSS section)
• HTML 4.01 Reference
• WHATWG's HTML 5 Reference

W3Fools - A W3Schools Intervention also promotes the following "more reputable sources":

Opera Web Standards Curriculum covers the basics of web standards-based design in HTML and CSS.
Google's HTML, CSS, and Javascript from the Ground Up presents the basics of web development with video tutorials presented by Google's expert web developers.
SitePoint is a pretty good reference for HTML, CSS and JavaScript. Their documentation always mentions feature support across different browsers, and describes known browser bugs.
The W3C, itself, has a wiki-based general Learn page as well as an HTML element reference.
The MDN (Mozilla's Developer Network) takes over at intermediate CSS and covers JavaScript better than anyone.
The MDN is also a wiki (little known fact), which means we, as knowledgeable web developers, can add or change information so the pages are as effective and comprehensive as possible.
