The SKEW.org XML Tutorial
----------------------------------------------------------------------
The Skew.org XML tutorial explains XML from the beginning. Starting
with basic principles, it outlines the purpose of the language and its
uses -- a thorough grounding in how the language works.
From the introduction: "This is a crash course in some essential
concepts for software developers who are reading and writing XML
documents on a regular basis. It is oriented toward people with some
sort of programming background. The intended audience should already
understand some basic things like what bits and bytes are, how to read
hexadecimal numbers, what characters are, and they should be
comfortable with phrases like "hierarchical data model"."
