The authors, Kelly Carey and Stanko Blatnik, teach XML technologies at West Valley College in California, the University of Sarajevo, and internationally for commercial and non-profit audiences. After years of experience teaching a wide range of technologies to diverse student populations, Kelly and Stanko wrote XML: Content and Data with an understanding of readers' expectations: to understand XML and to be able to apply that understanding toward commercial XML project development.
