This week we learned some XML, which was really interesting. Luckily I had learned a little bit about it in IRLS 515 last semester, so I had some idea of what it was. However, it was nice to get a refresher on it and to learn more about it. I decided to primarily learn it through the w3schools tutorial, as I like the way these allow you to learn through reading, demonstration, and doing (such as the XML validator, which came in handy). I feel as though I got a good feel for what it is, although I am still a little bit confused as to how it interacts with HTML and JavaScript. These are all pretty new concepts to me, so I think the knowledge will come with time and more experience.
I also went through the JavaScript tutorial since I was unfamiliar with it, and looked at the XML Namespaces module. XML seems to be very important in the current and upcoming web and in the information sciences in general, so I look forward to learning more about it.
