Summary: Lots of stuff - that's it
Comment: This is the first XML book I bought, and the last one too. It gives you a broad view of the technology, not a very organized one, but along with the enormous quantities of text available on the subject in the Web, this book can get you started.
Rating: 3
Summary: Not organized, badly explained, incomplete CD
Comment: This book contains a little useful information, but it tried to be everything for everyone, and very few topics are well explained. It contains chapter for java, C++, MS parsers, but none of them are clear. It is not well organized enough to be read from beginngin to the end as a book, and as reference, it is not easy to find something useful and concisely presented. What makes me more dispointed and/or angry is that the CD with this book (or at least, the CD or the book I bought) is not complete. Source code in some chapters are missing!!
Please refer to < Rating: 4 The only thing that I did not like in the book was that the book seems to be little bit out of pace in keeping touch with the advances in XML technology. It does cover the various (advanced) kind of technolgy where it (XML) can be used but for topics like Schema, CSS1/CSS2 or XSL it is not quite in touch. I think it was written in Sep'99 and quite often mentions "as of this writing...". Things have changed pretty much after that, related to XML and would have been better if included. But such things aren't very important from understanding XML, fundamentally. So I would indeed recommend the book but would not give 5 stars due to this hitch. Moreover I haven't read other books on XML and I guess, this book would suffice for some more time (atleast for me). ps: I found the style of writing in this book very impressive which makes the subject quite interesting. The examples are selected equally well as well. Thank you for visiting www.AnyBook4Less.com and enjoy your savings!

Summary: I liked this book
Comment: This is the only book on XML that I have read besides Black Book (which is a junk) and some material on internet. I liked this book for it's crisp and clear explanation of fundamental concepts. The book, as it says, is targetted towards the intermediate to advanced reader and it assumes some prior knowledge of XML. Based on such a reader, the book is an exact target and indeed does some good things to them. Atleast it did for me.Similar Books:
