Andrew,

It depends on what you might mean by xml tech-tools. Some application 
developers have used XML editors to teach the use of writing in an XML 
editor with a back up transformation app that transforms that XML into 
a styled HTML page or website. So when it comes to tech-tools for 
content providers validated XML through the use of a schema type forces 
the user to add data properly for easy website deployment. Other uses 
for XML might be in the form of middle-ware applications for RDBMS 
programers or managers. Some application developers have made their own 
type specific versions of XML to backup application development 
collaborations. XML has become a recognized standard. I for instance am 
an anti-well-formed SGML/XML radical with my own easy version of MTML 
user.

If you want a generalized beginning to XML as a whole then I would look 
at this website: http://www.xml.com/ , O'Reilly, XML.com. There are so 
many uses for XML that if you have a specific need you might want to 
learn about XML by the topic or area of interest best suited to your 
needs.
