Product Description
Product Description
"Only in the abbreviation-laden world of high technology could three letters have such wide impact." CNET XML is one of the hottest Web development tools/languages - especially in e-commerce. XML (Extensible Markup Language), a tagbased language similar to HTML, is designed to structure data, rather than format it like HTML. XML allows for the exchange of data between companies, within a company, or within an application. XML is a Web standard touted as having the potential to revolutionize the way businesses exchange data. It not only allows companies to easily and cheaply conduct online transactions with their customers and partners, it also delivers sound, video and other data across the Web. XML is simple to learn and works over Hyper Text Transfer Protocol (HTTP), the underlying protocol of the Web. In comparison, CORBA, EJB, and COM require more extensive programming knowledge Nearly every company - including Microsoft, Oracle, and IBM - is building XML support into their products.

Great presentation of XML basics
30 Sep 2002
Format:Paperback
This book is very useful and well written. The topics covered include XML basics, DTD's, style sheets, XML schemas, XML Query, XHTML, SYMM and MIL. It describes each topic in detail and with examples. Some of the examples help understand the different error messages given by the validating parsers. Perhaps that is the part programmers are mostly interested in.
Topics like XML Query and RDF are out of date as of now (Sept 2002), due to new W3C specifications, but introduction provided in the book is still useful for getting started. I really like XML Query chapter because no other small introduction is available elsewhere as of now.
This book is an excellent choice to get started with XML. It has got all the basics and nice examples.

A great reference book that should be on your shelf...
23 Sep 2002
Format:Paperback
I found XML: The Complete Reference to be a worthy book to have in my library. You will not learn everything there is to know about XML in this book, but you will be able to understand it well enough to begin. I have used this book over and over to look up little things that need. It is sometimes dificult to find what you are looking foor. But I have put tabs in my book to help me. If you program in XML, you will use this book everyday. This is a must have!

A good Training Manual and Basic Reference Guide
8 Jan 2002
Format:Paperback
We have been using this book as a Training manual and reference book for all of our classes in XML. It is very thorough and contains all the information anyone will need to be able to get started with XML programming. I think that MS Williamson has done a great job of putting together a lot of information in a book that can be used by people of different levels of knowledge and expertise.
