Many web sites and blogs also have great content to help you with XML issues:

• The World Wide Web Consortium (http://www.w3.org) owns the process for defining XML technologies.

• O’Reilly’s XML site (http://www.xml.com) has a great aggregation of XML-related information from blogs, articles, and other sources.

• Oleg Tkachenko has a very in-depth blog on XML at http://www.tkachenko.com/blog/.

• Microsoft’s XML team’s blog (http://blogs.msdn.com/xmlteam/) has great information, too.
