Introduction
The purpose of this page is to index a variety of XML things for short demos. I.e. I will use this page to motivate students for learning XML in classes I teach, e.g. COAP 2180 and STIC II. I usually just show a picture or two and then do a live demo.
We'll have a first version by december 2010 - 18:45, 31 October 2010 (CET).
