As promised I wanted to post the information from my talk last night at the VB Learn User Group:

What is XML? And why should I care?

You've heard the hype but have you heard the facts? XML is clearly one of the most important standards within the technology industry. In this presentation Microsoft's Thom Robbins covers the structure and design of XML and how it should be used by developers. This presentation also covers the various companion technologies and standards that have been developed with XML (XSD and XSLT). These are important technologies for developers to understand not only for their own application development but as a cornerstone of the .NET Framework. Thom explains how these can be tied together and used within the .NET Framework for application development.
