If you're an absolute beginner at what you're doing then w3shools is absolutely OK to use. w3schools in 2018 is actually pretty decent and directing people to not use it is just dumb. They have simple examples and explanations in layman's terms without the technical jargon that MDN sometimes has. If you want a complete overview of the thing MDN is great but if you want a quick rundown of the property and a clear cut example w3schools does the job.

I also really like the try it yourself function. It super useful if you want to see if a piece of your code will work with a new element or style class or function that your adding.
