Re: XML Book -- MIDRANGE-L

Thanks Adam - I appreciate the recommendation. I need to get better at
throwing the terms around. :)

I'll second that - their presentations on XML give a good introduction. If
you want to get started before you have a chance to see one of these
presentations, they also recommend a book in their slides.  IIRC, the book
they recommend is "XML for the World Wide Web" by Elizabeth Castro.  I
can't comment on this book specifically, but I've used Ms. Castro's book
on the Perl language.  I found it easy to understand and relatively fun to
read.  It was also fairly inexpensive (which was good as it was a textbook
for one of my classes).  My one complaint was that it was very much
targeted at the beginner, so it was a bit slow for me as I had some
knowledge of Perl already - YMMV.

As for a website, I've found the W3C website very useful in the past for
other open standards.  They give the (very technical) specifications for
the language, and links to learning resources.  www.w3schools.com has also
been useful for me in the past (I've only used it as a quick reference for
XML, but learned quite a bit of XHTML/CSS from the W3C - w3schools combo).

HTH,
Adam
