Extensible Markup Language (XML) allows Web page developers to combine text, images, and design techniques using a method more sophisticated than HTML. This sophistication comes at a price -- a more difficult learning curve. Teach Yourself XML provides a visual workbook of exercises, tools, and practice sessions to give you the building blocks to XML, from understanding markup and character data to using extended links and building styling tables. Combine this with no-nonsense writing and expert insight, and you've got a winning solution for mastering XML at your own pace.
