First and the foremost thing you will have to do is change your perception about XML being a prgramming language.
With the programming languages usually a programmer thinks that the language will be compiled and then be executed.
Where as in XML there is nothing of that sort.
In other words "XML is just a fancy name fora text file".
In essence its not much different then a comma separated file.

The power that XML has is that its backed by W3C standards,and you can use DTD's and schemas to form your own markup.
To actually understand the power of XML you will need to learn few other API's
DOM and SAX.

To cut it short.

Go tho this link and try the tutorials for " beginner guide...."
you will find all kinds of info here.

A good way to learn about XML Schemas (http://www.liquid-technologies.com/Tutorials/XmlSchemas/XsdTutorial_01.aspx) is this XSD tutorial. Its aimed at beginners to intermediates, and covers the basics of what a schema is, why there useful, what they do, how there structured, and tips about designing your own.

The free version of Liquid XML Studio (http://www.liquid-technologies.com/XmlStudio/XmlStudio.aspx)is also a great way to learn about the XSD standard, as the split diagram/code view provides good feedback to new users allowing them to see the consequences of changing the schemas structure.
