[tei-council] that footnote

[Lou Burnard]

Just for the record, I promised to report the result of my request for 
suggested reading on XML.


Sebastian suggested:

http://www.zvon.org/
http://www.w3schools.com/xml/default.asp
http://xml.coverpages.org/

James suggested:

1) W3Schools: http://www.w3schools.com/xml/

2) Zvon: http://www.zvon.org/xxl/XMLTutorial/General/book.html

3) Norm Walsh: http://www.zvon.org/xxl/XMLTutorial/General/book.html 
(though now dated)

4) XML.org list of resources: 
http://www.xml.org/xml/resources_focus_beginnerguide.shtml

5) Tizag XML tutorial: http://www.tizag.com/xmlTutorial/

Bonus) I hear that the IBM XML tutorial is good, but I've not tried it:
http://www.ibm.com/developerworks/edu/x-dw-xmlintro-i.html

Daniel  suggested:

I don't have five: I came from SGML which I learned from the Gentle
introduction and the Spec.

But here's one I used to learn XSLT and figure out my transition from
SGML to XML:

Rusty Harold, XML Bible.

And the footnote,fwiw, now reads:

<note place="foot">New
textbooks about XML appear at regular intervals and to select any one
of them would be invidious. A useful list of pointers to introductory
websites is available from <ptr
target="http://www.xml.org/xml/resources_focus_beginnerguide.shtml"/>;
recommended online course include <ptr
