Someone was telling me the other day that instead of using a database to
serve changing content, you can use xml files instead.
The only experience I've had with XML is making a few RSS feeds. Can
anyone point me in the right direction of some material which would tell
me more about using XML in other ways i.e. in serving dynamic content?
Thanks

XML is pretty much a simple flat file database. You use it when you want to
use heirarchacal data (as opposed to relational data) or when you want to
easily share data (as in RSS).
In ASP.net, for isntance, you can use database classes and the like to
connect to an XML file to retrieve data just like you would a database.

There's some good info in the DW 8 help documentation:
Displaying XML Data in Web Pages
http://livedocs.macromedia.com/dreamweaver/8/using/38_xml.htm
There are also some articles on the DW Developer Center:
