Amazon.co.uk Review
If you've gone beyond thinking that XML is just another buzzword, you're going to need something to help you start creating your first XML documents. This is not that book. However, if you're a serious XML developer wanting a single volume complete reference then this is just the book for you.
XML is not as simple as the hype tries to make you believe and The XML Companion takes a quick step through its history and concepts, before diving off into the depths of entities and DTDs. Bradley also goes into the more complex concepts behind the creation of XML documents and explores how you model, design and manage document structures. You'll also learn how to process XML data in your applications, as well as using XSL and XSLT to format and display XML data. Of course, something as complex as XML needs programming tools and you'll also find code samples and ideas for how to use XML's document model and programming APIs. --Simon Bisson

The XML Companion
