let me know when you find course material on XML and SQL... i need those purely for selfish reasons as well! :-)

I've given some thought to starting to work up something in this area. I've thought about the DB bits, but not written anything; XML is just a dream, so I'm also looking for ideas. What I've got in the current course "belongs" to Learning Tree (if anyone cares, there's an outline at learningtree.com under course 430 which I won't repost here), but I don't mind sharing if I do end up producing anything outside of that framework. No promises that I'll ever actually write anything, tho!!!!! Mats
