Thursday February 14, 2008 | The now
ubiquitous XML language
is approaching its 10th birthday, and the World
Wide Web Consortium is planning to
celebrate the 10-year
anniversary of XML 1.0. "There is essentially no computer in the world, desktop, hand-held or back room, that doesn't process XML sometimes," said Tim Bray, our Director of Web Technologies and co-editor of the XML standard. "This is a good thing, because it shows that information can be packaged and transmitted and used in a way that's independent of the kinds of computer and software that are involved. XML won't be the last neutral information-wrapping system; but as the first, it's done very well." Send in your XML 10 greeting today... |
