XML's birthday
XML is officially ten years old this week.
It became a W3C recommendation on 10 February 1998 and this coincides with when I returned to IT after a somewhat chequered career. As it was so new I didn't have to spend time catching up on it and I immediately saw some of its potential, now most of my work involves it in some way or other. Its now true to say that there's probably no computer on the planet that doesn't process XML data as a matter of course.
