Wow - I'm really surprised to see so many developers
say that XML (a fundamental web dev skill) should
not be bothered with.
This kind of advice is like telling a math major to
learn addition and subtraction, but don't bother
with multiplication.
Really - the fundamental skills of professional web
dev are HTML, CSS, XML, JavaScript - everything else
feeds off of those core competencies.
