Any good XML beginner books?

"How to expertly type <> volume 3"

I don’t think you’ll find a XML book that doesn’t waste your money.

<?xml version="1.0" encoding="UTF-8"?>
<SomeBlock>
<SomeNode>some value</SomeNode>
</SomeBlock>

And that’s XML 101

Surely even W3C can get you started on XML 😕

Does XML exist? HTML, ok! INI, ok! but xml... Its is just a overcomplicated html-like ini file...

@linuxer4fun XML is the general format for SOAP API’s. Nothing complicated about it until you start adding inline attributes for validation 😣, that drives me up the wall quickly.

So basically don't buy one, just fukin google it.

@C0D4 Well. ok. @theuser if you want to learn a programming language, I advice you NOT to read a book about it.

Simply, programm something and try to do as much as possible on your own. If you cant do something, google it. you will learn 10x times faster and much more deeply.

Thats how I was able to learn compilerbuilding (assembler etc) xD

You shouldn't need much to get started with it. I mean you can make up whatever structure you want with custom tags.

@theuser
For XML specifically, yeah pretty much.

There’s not a lot to it and it’s just structured tags and data at the end of the day.

@kp15 How so?
