I thought that Martin Bryan's article entitled, "An Introducxtion to the Extensible Markup Language (XML)" was pretty informative. I like the emphasis on how XML has so much more flexibility than its predecessors. I also had no idea that XML would assign a default definition if no DTD was present.
Uche Ogbuji's article on the core standards of XML was useful with its links and tutorials. It would make a great reference tool for those working on XML.
The XML Tutorial about Extending Your Markup was presented in a nice, user-friendly format, especially for beginners. I liked the definition of DTD as context-free grammar. That kind of made sense to me! The Extensible Stylesheet Language part was also useful, though I had to read that section a few times to really understand it.
The tutorial from w3schools.com was also helpful. I know I'll be referring to it constantly on the final assignment...
Tim, you're right about these articles and tutorials coming in handy for our final assignment!

Tim,
ReplyDeleteI also thought the "Extending your Markup: a XML tutorial” article was very easy to understand. In fact, I wish I would have read this one first. I like the examples, especially the one that compares a bibliographic entry in both HTML and XML. I am also a fan of the w3schools websites, because I don't think I am going to ever be able to memorize all of those HTML tags.

Megan, I am also glad that such resources about XML and HTML tags are out there for us. I would never be able to use them without having these tutorials and articles that provide examples to better explain the concepts.
