Argh, NO! It's not an excellent resource. It's got serious factual errors, and it's not something that someone learning HTML should refer to. How are they supposed to tell what's right or wrong from bad advice? You might as well recommend Microsoft as an example of good programming practice.
<soap-box> I don't do web design. I've no idea if http://www.w3schools.com/ is good or not. What I do know, or maybe it is what I feel, is that advice either for or against a resource should be complete with an example as to why someone feels it is either good or bad. Kind of like a book or movie review so the reader can get a feel from where the reviewer is coming from. </soap-box>
