Format:Paperback
I was hoping to get a thorough beginners introduction to xml but all I got were stabs in the dark!! A little disappointing for the dummies range. Not really worth the dough! Try Inside XML by Steve Holzner. It's bulky,(1000 pages!) but very informative, and great value for money!!

Format:Paperback
I had to do some work in XML and found this book lurking around the office. I've read a lot of books on IT and this is by far the worst. I didn't think it was possible for 350 pages of references and tutorials to teach me nothing, until I read this. Please don't waste your time with this book, it is useless.

I bought this book hopeing it would explain to me the basics of xml and help me make simple xml based web pages. The book is not clear, contains numerous irrelevant distractions and did not meet my aims. Anyone wanting to learn xml shoul avoid this book at all costs.

Absolute garbage
This is possibly the worst book I have ever read. It is fragmented, convoluted. Spent 6 hours on the first 4 chapters before I decided to give up. Sams is far better. Read more

DO NOT BUY THIS BOOK
This is the worst book I have ever read on any computing subject. It side tracks into SGML, pads out the already weak content and point you to broken links on the web.

Very Poor
Poorly organized, incomplete, difficult to read. This is overall a bad reference for XML.
Go to a bookstore, flip through it. It takes all of 5 minutes from cover to cover. Read more

Good to start but not a reference.
Having bought 3 xml books, this one is the one I wish I read first. It does not go into any great depth but is an excellent introduction to XML and why it is different (and... Read more

Dummies won't stand it either!
This is definately NOT a good book. The authors are too busy using the word COOL! In short, this books keeps on talking how COOL XML is, but does not cover a single complete... Read more

You Won't Learn Much About XML from THIS book
Skimpy, hard to read, and sadly incomplete are the primary attributes of this book. Key concepts are presented in a half-baked manner leaving the reader to figure things out. Read more
