Every problem is a nail

When your only tool is a hammer, why do all your problems look like nails. In response to my last post, I think XML is my hammer. I do feel that it was a creative solution that in the end has not saved me much work. But the problem set I was working with was more fun. It had a freshness to it that database updates no longer have.

At one time, I wanted to use XML for just about everything. I realize when its useful or over kill. Programming projects like my survey generator/processor could be heavy in code, but it is a tiny project mostly XML and XSL.
