Using XML to communicate with a server

I'm working on a project which involves writing a program to communicate with a server, using XML over a TCP/IP connection. I am quite new to the programming world and have no experience in XML. All i know is that it's a little like HTML, which i have used many years ago. The only thing I was told is that the program must be in XML in order for the server to understand the messages i'm sending.

I wanted to know where i can start programming. Are there any programs out there which will allow me to code in XML and then compile the code for execution? Do i need a program to write the code or is there any other way?

Any help will be much appreciated since i really dont know where to start with.

Thanks.

As John Saunders said in the comments, XML is a data format. Per programming, you'll have to get the specifics of the TCP connection. What protocol and port? Then you'll need to get a schema for the XML document - this will describe the format of the XML you'll be sending. After you get specifics about the communications, you should be able to formulate questions specific to the language you choose. Ditto the XML.
