XML Resources

The W3C may be the official, governing body of XML development, but there are other sites out there who offer a wide variety of XML-support. This is by no means meant to be a complete list of all such sites, but a collection of the ones I most frequently visit myself.

XML.com

XML.com is, in my opinion, the best XML-related site on the Internet. The site offers weekly articles covering the latest events in the development of the XML technology. In addition to this they also offer weekly transcripts from various XML discussion forums and mailing lists, but with an emphasis on the XML-DEV list. The site also contains links to other XML sites and various software resources.

XML.org

XML.org is in many respects quite similar to XML.com, but the contents of the site are geared more towords an industrial and commercial market. This is not in any way a bad thing, but if you are new to XML, XML.com is probably a better (and easier) place to start. XML.org is hosted by OASIS (Organization for the Advancement of Structured Information Standards), which also hosts the XML-DEV mailing list.

The XML Zone

Another good XML site. Not quite as detailed in covering XML as the two other sites mentioned above, but has sections covering other web technologies like Java and DHTML. Also some very useful links to other XML resources.

If you start out with one of the above sites, you should be off to a good start. And, if they do not contain exactly what you are looking for, chances are they will lead the way to more relevant sites. For a a more detailed list of XML resources, please check out the XML Link Page.
