XPath Tutorial For Dummies [New Version Available!]

NEW VERSION AVAILABLE!
XPath For Dummies V2.0: • XPath For Dummies V2.0
I will teach you how to use xpath and some syntaxes aswell as some functions.
XPath (XML Path Language) is a query language for selecting nodes from an XML document. In addition, XPath may be used to compute values (e.g., strings, numbers, or Boolean values) from the content of an XML document. XPath was defined by the World Wide Web Consortium (W3C).
The XPath language is based on a tree representation of the XML document, and provides the ability to navigate around the tree, selecting nodes by a variety of criteria. In popular use (though not in the official specification), an XPath expression is often referred to simply as "an XPath".
Originally motivated by a desire to provide a common syntax and behavior model between XPointer and XSLT, subsets of the XPath query language are used in other W3C specifications such as XML Schema, XForms and the Internationalization Tag Set (ITS).
XPath has been adopted by a number of XML processing libraries and tools, many of which also offer CSS Selectors, another W3C standard, as a simpler alternative to XPath.

Great Guide, thanks :D But I assume it's a good way to explain some new stuff start with the basic. What is XML and how it used across the web. But it's this is just my point of view.

Appreciate the feedback a lot! I actually went through that with my new video series about XML and webscraping! :-)
