XML Books and or Websites

[Zach Elfers]

Can someone tell me what would be a good book to read to learn XML? Would Teach Yourself XML in 21 Days be Good?

Does anyone know of some websites with online tutorials?

Hey Zach,
Buy the cheapest crapiest book out there for XML learning,XML it self is nothing more then a fancy text standard.(yes 21 days book should do)

The tricky part is when you learn to create/parse XML using SAX(Simple API for XML ) or DOM (Document Object Model) based API's.

Then the next part comes to action that which languages will you be wroking with.If java

Then here is a detailed tutorial on Java/XML.Its a pretuy good tutorial.

Unfortunately I have no idea for any other languages( I know there are parsers for C/C++ though).
If XML/Java I can probably help you a great deal.

cheers

Thanks Khalidali. I don't really use Java on my sites, but I will try your tutorial. I am learning Java though, so I will probably use applets someday.
