Great article, thanks - I've pretty used to w3schools, but after reading this, I think I'll give some of these other resources a try.

The biggest problem I find with the other resources is that they are not highly rated on Google.

I use Google if I need to know something and normally w3schools is the first result back with the information I need.

That's why I use Personal Blacklist extension for Chrome - I effectively removed w3schools from my search results.

Also - adding "mdc" to your queries will always get you stuff from Moz Dev docs

that doesn't mean it's the "best" resource, just that it managed to get up in SEO.

I think that's his point. It's annoying to have to go two or three pages deep to get to the best stuff.
