View Full Version : XML (specifically XQuery) resources

I've asked a few XML questions here in the past (some of which are still unanswered), so since there doesn't seem to be a lot of XML knowledge here, I was wondering if people would just want to post XML resources of which they know. Preferably online. Specifically, I'm interested in XQuery (and thus XPath). Google ends up returning lots of listserv archives and things of that nature and while there can be a gem in these on occasion, websites that have been designed with the intent of people actually reading later, rather than sequentially like a listserv, are much nicer.

Thanks!

Go to the source: http://w3schools.com/

There are guides for all of these technologies in the left column, all produced by the standards-makers themselves.

w3schools is only good if you want to do very simple things, IMO

I'm personally looking for something a little more robust

Despite the seemingly official name, W3schools.com has nothing to do with the W3C...

What a let-down...well, you can always try O'Reilly's Learning XML for starters.

Maybe check out Mark Logic? You can download a development version of their XML server and load XML into it and practice querying it w/ XQUERY / XPATH expressions.
