Good solid book - works as an intro and a reference 23 April 2009
By Gary - Published on Amazon.com
Format:Paperback|Amazon Verified Purchase
When I was trying to pick a book to fill in the gaps (chasms) in my XML experience, I routed around in the amazon percentage, (what percent of people bought this book, what percent bought other books.) This one seemed to have a good go-to ratio, and on one of the other books, the review referred to this one. I bought it second hand and got an excellent price. I am pleased. It reads easily and has a useful index.

With that said, this 800+ page book includes:

XML Basics: Syntax, Editors, Other tools

Presentation: XHTML and CSS

XML-FO

Defining Structure: DTDs and Schemas (and Relax NG)

XML as Data: the template translator XSLT, XPath, and XQuery

XML in the Data Tier, relation to relational DBs

Programming XML: the XML Document Object Model (DOM), Simple API for XML (SAX) ,and yes Ajax, XML and .Net, XML and Java, Python, Ruby, and Perl

XML Services: RSS and Atom, Web services

SOAP and WSDL:

Advanced Web services

more stuff including 30 pages of XML in Office Development.

Complete XML presentation 3 Jan 2010
By George Bagropoulos - Published on Amazon.com
Format:Paperback
XML is everywhere today. Before reading this book I had a good understanding of XML but after finishing it I can say that I have a deep understanding of the subject. The book covers XML, XSLT, XHTML, CSS, XSL-FO, different XML schemas, XSLT, XPath, XQuery in great detail using very comprehensive hand-on examples. It goes further on covering AJAX, XML and .NET, XML and JAVA. The books includes a very detailed explanation of SOAP, WSDL and Web Services. It also introduces Resource Description Framework and the Semantic Web.

This book is for anyone that wants to get a deep understanding of XML. It is not a light introduction. It is not a book for platform specific Web Services implementation (ex. WCF)

I recommend it for everyone who really wants to understand XML for professional use.

Can be a reference. 14 April 2008
By S. Devasundaram - Published on Amazon.com
Format:Paperback
This book has got a decent content about XML. But, most pages have been added to technologies that aren't being used much and just adds bulk to the book. A little rhetoric and not always concise to the point; but can live with it. Over all a good reference book. 3 Stars.
