More XML Resources

This chapter has touched on many of the most important topics in the world of XML. But there is a wealth of additional information available elsewhere. Here is a list of Web sites that should prove valuable to you in learning more about XML.

• http://www.w3c.org is the Web site for the World Wide Web Consortium and has information about XML standards. The articles here tend to be very dry and wordy, but they are full of excellent information.

• http://www.zvon.org is an indispensable site for learning about the world of XML and its various satellite technologies. There is a substantial amount of information here, and the site has excellent tutorials for people just starting out.

• http://msdn.microsoft.com/library/en-us/xmlsdk/html/oriXMLStandards.asp is the MSDN main reference page for XML standards. It has an excellent XML Schema reference, as well as information on namespaces and DTDs. (MSDN is the website of the Microsoft Developer Network.)
