Re: XML Book

[AGlauser@xxxxxxxxxxxx]

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,
