Hi,

I taught myself HTML and CSS years ago using w3schools and notepad.

I really enjoy coding and am ok at it (would consider myself an intermediate coder), though not up to Front End Developer standards (I think) and I want to increase my skills by learning HTML5 and CSS3.

I was in an interview recently for a migration role and I said that if I ever do get stuck on code I search it to find out the answer and the interviewer asked if I used w3schools, because their code is terrible.

Questions:
Is there a good place to learn or is it a matter of preference (I have always referred w3schools and thought they were good)?
Is it a matter of practice or do all coders at times get stuck on code that they need to look up?

Thanks
