On the recommendation of a friend who took a digital libraries class last semester, I picked up a book about XML they recommended. While I was at Disney World over the Christmas break (ahh!!!...80 degree weather--compared to the 10 degree weather here, presently), I read bits and pieces of the XML book, so I would have *some* idea what I was getting thrown into during the course of the spring semester of the internship in coding of the IU newsletter.
...Fast Forward to the start of the spring semester, I was given a list of readings as a tutorial about XML by the internship supervisor, M.D., and so far they have actually been helpful in explaining about the theory of XML coding and how to code a document into the XML format.
So I have been reading about XML for the past couple of weeks and I have just started a tutorial where I am coding an article that is similar to the format of the newsletter that I will be XML coding in the near future. So I am getting my feet wet in the actual process of coding...we'll see how it goes. There are some things I need to figure out, but I have a good start, so far.
Another point....I am not a fan of waiting for the A bus for 45 minutes in 10 degree weather...that was cold (BRRR!) and I also left my favourite scarf at home this morning.
