Intro to XML
Welcome to the wonderful world of awesome acronyms. This intro article provides a nice overview of extensible markup language (why not EML?). I have come to figure I have a terrible memory with acronyms and constantly find myself re-reading most things to go back and find what something means. It just turns into a Where's Waldo kind of game, it makes reading a lot more entertaining. As seeing as I do not have a XML programming background all of that information basically just flew right over my head but I believe I got the gist of all of it.
XML Standards and XML Tutorial
The Standards and Tutorial articles are both basically the same thing. Both articles delve deeper into the wonderful world of XML than the Intro article. All in all, I would need to refer to all three articles if I were to throw my hat into the age of acronyms. I am, however, starting to enjoy the W3Schools stuff, they really seem to think about their articles and what goes in.
Extending Your Markup
Or maybe I spoke too soon. I will probably just refer to this PDF rather than the other three, although my heart remains with the W3Schools. The "asides," if you will, make things a lot easier to understand. For example, the DTD information is much easier to follow and understand than most things.
I too enjoyed the W3W school stuff. The two tutorials were the same almost, I went to do the first one and kept clicking around - It links to the 2nd one and I didn't realize that until I went to look it up to do. It was so easy to understand and implement (on the site) - though I don't think I'm anywhere near going out and trying to do it on my own.
