Week 9 Readings

I'm going to address all of the readings at once rather than breaking them up as I usually do. This is because they all dealt with the same information, to the point that once I got to the last reading I felt there wasn't much new to learn. They all covered aspects of the XML system and each seemed to offer a similar explanation of it. I learned that XML is good because for storing documents into databases as well as transferring across hardware and software. This is a good attribute to have, as digital technologies are constantly changing. All in all, the readings were good sources of information; they provided examples and links to further instruction.

  1. I think the information in these articles was not easy to understand, and it was confusing. Maybe because we did not have any experience about XML.

  2. I agree that all of the readings bled together and could have been clearer. I kind of wish one of the sources would have explained better why and when you'd want to use XML instead of just how. Databases are the big thing, I think.
