1.0 out of 5 stars Be Afraid BE VERY AFRAID, 29 Jun 2000
By A Customer
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

1.0 out of 5 stars As clear as Mud!!, 19 Jan 1999
By A Customer
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)!

2.0 out of 5 stars Complicated, but the stuff kinda works, 12 Nov 1998
By A Customer
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.

1.0 out of 5 stars Long on Java, short on Markup
This was one of the first XML books published, and it was clearly rushed to market to get the early-bird bucks. Very disappointing. Read more

5.0 out of 5 stars The best XML book thus far

1.0 out of 5 stars shamefully padded
1. Code samples are repeated over and over with a line added at a time. This padding wastes paper and makes the code harder to follow.

1.0 out of 5 stars 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

2.0 out of 5 stars Nope. I didn't like it either

1.0 out of 5 stars 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

2.0 out of 5 stars 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.
