Customer Reviews

If you really want to know what XML can do - buy this book!
The real advantage with this book is that the author provides simple examples, and their results, of each aspect of XML. Unlike other, more lengthy books on this topic, this book brilliantly shows you how to get real results with XML.

I work in a data processing environment, here in the Big Apple, and was recommended to this book by a friend in London..If you want to understand XML then you gotta get this book...

XML in easy steps
There has been a lot of ballyhoo written about XML. This book explains what it really can do - and it's truly amazing|! XML is explained in terms that are not too technical so it can be understood by anyone. I recommend that if you want to learn about the red-hot XML technology you really should buy this book now!

Excellent!
I cannot recommend this book enough if you are an XML beginner. I didn;t use it to learn the language, I bought a much larger more comprehensive book to teach me that. However, as a reference tool it is absolutely perfect, covering everything in enough detail to aid understanding but not in ecessive detail. As I said though i's buy another book to actually learn the full workings of XML.
