I want to start learning XML. What tool do I need to start ? I heard of XML SPy which is cool. But does it still offer that 30 free trial version ? What other FREE tool is good for this learning purpose ?
Alongwith being a good coder, try to be a good professional as well!

You don't really need a tool to learn XML, a notepad/emac is more than enough. Check this XML tutorials at http://www.w3schools.com/ The best place to start.

Thanks for response. I heard that XML SPy can check if a XML/DTD schema is valid, etc ? If I don't use any tool, can I do the same thing the tool does ?

Lot of tools were available for this. Sun Multischema validator XSV or http://www.w3.org/2001/03/webdata/xsv http://apps.gotdotnet.com/xmltools/xsdvalidator/Default.aspx => with .NET MSXML Apache Xerces Schematron Topologi IBM Schema quality checker .... after all xmlspy is also a good tool, but if you start using IDE's for developing xml, then it will be difficult for you to write a single xml schema without using an IDE.(my personal experience) Its upto you.
