XML also known as Extensible Markup Language is a language created the structure, transporting and storing data or information. But who is the simplest explanation.

6. Brush your skills command line - Learn to use the command line tools to perform complex tasks. It is a great time saver. Do not forget to take some scripting skills bash on the track.
