TechWhirl (TECHWR-L) is a resource for technical writing and technical communications professionals of all experience levels and in all industries to share their experiences and acquire information.
For two decades, technical communicators have turned to TechWhirl to ask and answer questions about the always-changing world of technical communications, such as tools, skills, career paths, methodologies, and emerging industries. The TechWhirl Archives and magazine, created for, by and about technical writers, offer a wealth of knowledge to everyone with an interest in any aspect of technical communications.
Richard, where you should start is to not pay any attention to any of these "you can't be taught posts". If you really need an utter beginner's start with XML, any book in Barnes and Noble will help you because all of them were written by people who already know more than you, so reading them can't hurt you and may help you. Unless you are a Mozart-like prodigy, you can't learn enough in a few weeks to call yourself proficient in XML. But from your post I infer that for you, any level of learning in XML is better than nothing.
I have to admit I don't know enough about XML to offer anything more helpful than that. If I did, I would offer it. Good luck with your new job.
