Learning XML

[julesH]

Hi

I need to get up to speed with XML and all its associated technologies (i.e. XSLT, XST, XLMNS, etc). Most of the books I've browsed contain only part of the information I need.

I have one book that goes into detail about the MSXML DOM and thats about it. I'm having real difficulty getting my head around namspaces and URNs etc.

Are there any sites that offer concise guides to these technologies or any recommended books that cover most topics? Many books seem to be out of date already (e.g. refer to DTDs and not schemas).

Many thanks in advance.

I strongly suggest getting XML by Example by Benoit Marchal. It covers all of the areas of XML including XSL, XSL:FO contains examples using javaScript and JAVA and shows the entire creation of a eCommerce app with XML. It is also a very fast read and is written in such a way that you understand what you are being told without rereading everypage twice.
