Overview of XML
XML stands for Extensible Markup Language. The main purpose of XML is to make information on the internet viewable across many different platforms. XML is relatively easy to learn and is recommended by standards organizations as a preferred programming language for web development.
History of XML
XML was designed by a group of 11 techies from various companies that had an interest in internet standards (Netscape, Microsoft, and others). Their work was done via email and teleconference. This was in the late 1990’s, with the formal XML standard recommendation coming in early 1998. Various versions of XML have since been developed.
Learning XML
XML is a hot skill to have. As more of our lives take place on the World Wide Web, the need for skilled developers increases. Usually, XML is one of several languages a Web Developer might know. Techies with strong development skills and in-depth knowledge of XML are often employed as Developers for Web Applications.
Depending on your current level of development skills, you could learn XML by attending a college class or continuing education class offered by a local college.
