The w3schols site is becoming rather dated with their information - particularly for those topics that have chjanged significantly since the two guys who own that site first created it. Their JavaScript seciotn for example needs an almost complete rewrite as much of the content is far more suited to Netscape 4 than it is to modern browsers.

Any books they produced would be similarly outdated as if they had the time to update the information properly for the books then they could have updated their web site with the same info.

There are lots of far better resources for most web topics out there now. The domain name for the w3schools web site has misled a lot of people into believing that it is somehow far more 'official' than other far superior sites that didn't get misleading domain names (since there is no connection whatever to the W3C standards body).
