Week 9 - Notes
An Introduction to XML
I really didn't get anything out of this. After reading it, I'm still not really sure what the point of XML is.
A survey of XML standards: Part 1
This seemed to be a basic listing of various ways to use XML, and programs or tutorials that would help someone use that function.
Extending Your Markup: An XML Tutorial
Now I finally see what XML is! At least I think so. Instead of influencing the layout on a web page, as HTML does, it marks the text itself (for instance, in figure 1b, showing exactly what the various details of a book are). I'm still not 100% clear on all the details, but for the most part, this article does a really good job of explaining everything.
XML Schema Tutorial
This is basically a tutorial for how to use an XML Schema rather than DTD. As far as I can tell, XSD is preferable to DTD because it uses the XML language, so it can be easily learned, and can be made with the same tools that one already uses for XML.

Week 8 - Notes
HTML Tutorial
This was a nice little tutorial. A lot of it I knew already (I have some experience designing web pages), but it was a nice review. I also like how it was set up so that you could play around with the HTML and see what the effect would be.
HTML Cheatsheet
I don't think there's really a way to comment on this. It's really straightforward - it's just a list of HTML tags. It's nice to have a quick reference like this, though.
CSS Tutorial
This seems like a pretty straightforward "language." My main thought is that I would have trouble with it simply because it's not HTML.
Goans, D., Leach, G., & Vogel, T. M. (2006). Beyond HTML: Developing and re-imagining library web guides in a content management system. Library Hi Tech, 24(1), 29-53.
This was pretty interesting. It shows an alternative to HTML, and also shows a way that web page editing can be applied to a library setting.
