Format:Paperback
This book is impossible to read,the illustrations are terrible and the explanations lousy.This book lacks an intended audience and therefore it is not written with any particular user in mind. Steer clear and avoid at all cost...You are not missing anything becuase its totally incomplete
Format:Paperback
What I've learned about XML thus far has come from Internet websites. So I wanted a 'Complete' book on XML to show 'this is what it is, and this is how it is done'. After the first few chapters of this book, I am now thoroughly confused - COMPLETE(LY)!
Format:Paperback
I have had trouble with the cd-rom. These files do not work in my parser. There are no solutions in the book. It needs troubleshooting section.

Frustrating - a waste of time
I agree with most of the Amazon readers who have reviewed this book. It's lousy. The author's approach doesn't invite inquisitive research - that is to say, it's one of the most... Read more

Not Worth the Money
It says on the back blurb that the author has written 35 computer books. It's pretty easy to see why. Of 500 pages, perhaps 20 have useful content. Read more

Nope. I didn't like it either
I bought it because as an intranet application designer I wanted to see what XML could bring to my applications. Read more

The worst technical book I've ever purchased.
This book gives new meaning to the term bad. It's got virtually no content, consisting primarily of meaningless padding. Read more

Code Errors encountered during the beginning of the book
Any updated version of source code can be found on-line? Then the book will be more useful. You can learn more when you debug the code.
