Title: XML for Dummies, Third Edition by Ed Tittel, Ed, et al. Tittel ISBN: 0-7645-1657-4 Publisher: For Dummies Pub. Date: 01 May, 2002 Format: Paperback Volumes: 1 List Price(USD): $24.99 |
Average Customer Rating: 1.83 (41 reviews)
Rating: 3
Summary: Below average for IDG
Comment: Maybe it's a problem with XML itself, because the book is a little thin. In practice XML works with other markup languages, XSL (extensible style sheets) and XSLT (extensible style sheet transformations), as well as a couple of other components. This book only covers XML so maybe the content itself isn't enough to sustain a single book.
The book's a decent read but doesn't delve too deeply into the code. I know this is a primer book, but still it could have used additional info on how to implement XML in web pages.
I would read another primer than this one and then move on to an O'Reilly book on XML (when one comes out).

Summary: Excellent Intro to XML
Comment: This book makes for a very good intoduction to XML, it points out the basics, and thats all you really need to know, XML is very simple. Most the critics who gave this book low reviews, were looking for a book on XML web services, and such. Please do not expect to learn that from this book.

Summary: Should be Called XML Jargon Instead
Comment: The author may know his stuff. In fact, he may know it too well to teach it, as this book is full of terms and acronyms that are used within the text before being fully explained. You'll find yourself re-reading everything four times, trying to remember the difference between elements and entities, XSL and XML. Clearly the author loves the new technology and wants you to as well, but he doesn't explain it very well. Get XML Step By Step from MS Press if you want to actually learn this stuff.
