Is w3schools reliable enough for picking up basic HTML and CSS?

Question

I look after our company site and want to stop pinging the developer for every tiny layout tweak. A friend says w3schools is outdated and teaches bad habits. Fine as a quick reference for a non-developer, or is there something better?

for the basics, yes. use MDN when you want the deeper why, and build a couple of tiny pages yourself rather than just reading.

watch the older pages though. if a tutorial lays out a whole page with floats or tables, skip it and learn flexbox and grid instead, that's how layout is done now.
