Product Description

Book Description

Harness the power of XML in no time.

XML in easy steps is an ideal introduction to the eXtensible Markup Language (XML) using examples to demonstrate each step.

This, easy-to-read guide focuses mostly upon publishing XML data on web pages in order to teach the beginner about XML syntax, schemas, links, transformation and styling. These are the areas you need to learn in order to start creating your own XML applications.

XML in easy steps covers everything from Introducing XML, XML basics, Document Type Definition, XMLSchema simple types, XMLSchema complex types, XML namespaces, XSL transformation, Xpath language, Cascading Stylesheets, Xlink and Xpointer and XML DOM.

Also, you will find a handy Technology reference guide in the inside cover.

From the Author

This book simplifies XML without waffle. XML Transformation of XML files is demonstrated with the purpose-made XSL style sheet language and also with the popular CSS language. XML may appear complex to the academic but this book makes it simple for use by the novice in the real world.

5.0 out of 5 stars If you really want to know what XML can do - buy this book!, 14 July 2002

"krista_laing_ny" - See all my reviews

This review is from: XML in Easy Steps (Paperback)

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...

paulmac (new york) - See all my reviews

This review is from: XML in Easy Steps (Paperback)

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!

5.0 out of 5 stars Excellent!, 26 Feb 2006

steve_m (UK) - See all my reviews

This review is from: XML in Easy Steps (Paperback)

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.
