Our company has been using HTML, CSS, ColdFusion and ASP to manipulate and
deliver information to and from databases. I'm exploring XML's possible
applications in our industry (healthcare information systems). However the
documentation seems to imply XML can't really do much yet (I have several
general XML textbooks). On the other hand I'm hearing that some major
companies are already using XML. What can XML do right now that I should be
studying? If I purchase an XML project book, are the examples going to be
theoretical or practical? What might be a good project book? TIA.
