Summary: Disappointed in SAMS
Comment: I agree with the gentleman above (Mr. Sholto L. Douglas). I am 1/4 of the way into the book and I was so disappointed I just had to read the review on this book, which I should have done prior to purchasing it. However my previous experience with SAMS books had been excellent so I purchased it at a bookstore based on the publisher. I won't make that mistake again. From now on I'll purchase from Amazon AFTER reading the reviews.
As Mr. Douglas states the examples are sparse and poor. I am used to SAMS books providing many concise examples, analogies and exercises that aid in your learning. Not everyone learns best by theory.
Since I have never experienced Mr. Morrison's work my disappointment lies with SAMS. They usually put out a better product. I will return this book tomorrow. There have got to be a number of books that handle this subject better.

Summary: Does this author realize that microsoft isnt the internet?
Comment: At bought this book excited about the prospect of rewriting all of my web applications to take advantage of XML and XSL Templates and stylesheets. Unfortunately, about halfway through the book I realized that every example works ONLY on Microsoft Internet Explorer. Why? Because he uses active X controls (microsoft.xmldom) via javascript for parsing on the client side for every xml example.
Face it, the web is NOT OWNED BY MICROSOFT. Using proprietary technology for a public web page defeats the cross platform foundation of HTML, XML, JAVA, and the web itself. Don't do ActiveX client side, and dont be dumb enough to buy this book. While it's true that you'll learn about XML and XSL, you'll have a difficult time applying it to real life applications without reading another book as well.

Summary: Good book spoiled for a ha'porth of tar
Comment: For the first couple of chapters I thought it was great. However, as it became more complex, the explanations were in dire need of accompanying examples.
Worse still, the index is so inaccurate that the book is almost worthless as a reference. For example, 'Comments' are supposed to be on page 94, which is a Workshop page. And you will look in vain for PCDATA on pages 54-55.
With a bit more thoroughness, this could have been a really good introduction to XML.
