Summary: Good book!
Comment: I have a shelf full of books at home on XML, but there is always room for one more ;) This is a new title and I have just received it after being on the wait list for a little while. The reason why I ordered it was because the Web Services specifications were not included in any detail yet by any other books. So, I turned directly to the Web Services chapters, and it did not disappoint! I was able to put the concepts and code in the book (including VB code for .NET) directly to use. The book also included great detail on using Java with the DOM and SAX. In general, this is a focused and well-written book.
Others may be interested in the general XML introduction, XSL detail, and chapters on the various XML standards, but this is meant to be a reference book, and so I was happy with the chapters that I chose to read.
Not a bad buy... Worth the money.

Summary: Very comprehensive, up-to-date, and well written!
Comment: Well, this book is hot off the presses as of the writing of this review, and it's a good thing, since the content is very well written and is extremely up-to-date!
This book makes a good essential reference for anyone who is interested in developing using XML, Web Services, SAX, the JAX pack, etc. Certainly, it has helped me get off the ground and become a better XML developer!
Topics covered in the book include:
+ Fundamentals of XML
+ DTDs, XML Schema, and alternatives including RELAX NG and SOX
+ XLink, XPath, and XPointer
+ XML Database integration and data modeling
+ Processing XML with SAX and DOM, with both Java and VB examples
+ XSLT and XSLT:FO
+ SVG and XHTML
+ Lots of Web Services Content including detail on SOAP, UDDI, WSDL, and implementation
+ Microsoft .NET code and implementation
+ Voice XML and WAP
+ XML Content Management
+ XML e-Business standards including RosettaNet, ebXML, OBI, and vertical industry standards including HL7, ACORD, XBRL, IFX, etc.
+ RDF and semantic web stuff
So,this is really quite a detailed, comprehensive, and actually enjoyable to read book. I have now 7 XML books on my shelf, but they keep getting better ;)
Worth it for newbies and experienced developers alike.

Summary: Finally! A comprehensive book on XML!!!!
Comment: What a relief! This has been one of the most didactically written technical book I have ever read. Well done!
This is definately a reference I will be refering to as it is up-to-date and very complete. For example, Web Services, XFLT, SVG...
Buy this book if you need a desktop reference on XML. You won't regret it!
