W3Schools is a good place to start to learn different
codes and scripting languages, find examples, or learn about different
applications. XML Tutorial provides basaic instructions, examples,
and even exams and quiz for self-learner. Visit
the website.
Hosted by the OASIS international standards consortium, XML.org is an
online community gathering place for those interested and involved in
XML-related standards and specifications. You can find guides

This is the first article on Ajax that I came across.
I find it quite useful. Read
the article.
What is Soap? Read how W3C documents its development.
Read it now.
This book is a guide to Web services, defined as
application enablers by the author, and the different applications.
Note of interest: the book has a chapter that discusses the role of Microsoft
and .NET in Web services, and another chapter counterpointing it by looking
at Java.
Note: This is not a complete resource list yet; it is but a starting point. It is my belief that as one reads on and learn more, one would be able to amass more good, useful resources along the way. So be sure to check back in the future, and see if this list grows as my understanding of the XML world grows.
