Product Description
If you're a developer working with XML, you know there's a lot to know about XML, and the XML space is evolving almost moment by moment. But you don't need to commit every XML syntax, API, or XSLT transformation to memory; you only need to know where to find it. And if it's a detail that has to do with XML or its companion standards, you'll find it--clear, concise, useful, and well-organized--in the updated third edition of XML in a Nutshell. With XML in a Nutshell beside your keyboard, you'll be able to: Quick-reference syntax rules and usage examples for the core XML technologies, including XML, DTDs, Xpath, XSLT, SAX, and DOM; Develop an understanding of well-formed XML, DTDs, namespaces, Unicode, and W3C XML Schema; Gain a working knowledge of key technologies used for narrative XML documents such as web pages, books, and articles technologies like XSLT, Xpath, Xlink, Xpointer, CSS, and XSL-FO; Build data-intensive XML applications; Understand the tools and APIs necessary to build data-intensive XML applications and process XML documents, including the event-based Simple API for XML (SAX2) and the tree-oriented Document Object Model (DOM) This powerful new edition is the comprehensive XML reference. Serious users of XML will find coverage on just about everything they need, from fundamental syntax rules, to details of DTD and XML Schema creation, to XSLT transformations, to APIs used for processing XML documents. XML in a Nutshell also covers XML 1.1, as well as updates to SAX2 and DOM Level 3 coverage. If you need explanation of how a technology works, or just need to quickly find the precise syntax for a particular piece, XML in a Nutshell puts the information at your fingertips.

About the Author
Elliotte Rusty Harold is a noted writer and programmer, both on and off the Internet. He started by writing FAQ lists for the Macintosh newsgroups on Usenet, and has since branched out into books, web sites, and newsletters. He's currently fascinated by Java, which is beginning to consume his life. His Cafe Au Lait web site at http://sunsite.unc.edu/javafaq/ is a frequently visited Java site. Elliotte resides in New York City with his wife Beth and cat Possum. When not writing about Java, he enjoys genealogy, mathematics, and quantum mechanics, and has been known to try to incorporate these subjects into his computer books (when he can slip them past his editors). So far he hasn't been able to, but he suspects that a short, last-minute biography might not be inspected as closely as the rest of a manuscript. His previous book is Java Developer's Resource from Prentice Hall. W. Scott Means has been a professional software developer since 1988, when he joined Microsoft Corporation at the age of 17. He was one of the original developers of OS/2 1.1 and Windows NT, and did some of the early work on the Microsoft Network for the Advanced Technology and Business Development group. Most recently, he served as the CEO of Enterprise Web Machines, a South Carolina based Internet infrastructure venture. He is currently writing full-time and consulting on XML and Internet topics.

Most Helpful Customer Reviews   3 of 3 people found the following review helpful: 5.0 out of 5 stars A great place to start for techie types, 13 Feb 2007 By  Steve Q - See all my reviews True to form for the Nutshell guides, its brief, to the point and explains most XML related concepts XSL, XPATH, XML Schema etc in a really readble format. If you've every written an kind of programming language then this is an excellent guide to take you through XML. I wouldn't say the coverage is 100%, it simply wouldn't fit in a concise guide like this if it were, it will cover the vast majority - theres always google for that one case of something really odd. Comment Comment | Permalink | Was this review helpful to you? Yes No (Report this)   5.0 out of 5 stars Has all the info. And is readable too, if you like that. A little too much chat and waffle for my liking, though, 22 Jun 2009 By  Michael Hehir (Roscommon) - See all my reviews I got this book primarily to study for the XML master certification - to fill in the gaps in my XML knowledge, the bits I don't use on a day-to-day basis. My opinion of O'Reilly books is that they cover the material, and cover it well. This XML book does too. I own Programming Perl (the dromedary), Learning the Korn Shell (the turtle), Sed & Awk etc. from O'Reilly and they are great, especially the Perl book. This XML book is good, but for me it is padded out too much with chat. I don't believe there is any reason other than to make it a more readable work. So the first task I have completed with it is to scan through and cross out the waffle. (I cross it out so I will never read it again). This is a chore but I do it because I don't know of a better book. One complaint about the book is that some of the example xml could choose wilder values than "1" - where "23" or "97" would do fine. If you know xml, you'll know what I mean. Buy this book: it's great. But it's 600 pages - don't expect it to be only 46 pages long like the Sed&Awk pocket reference. My background: B.Sc. in Computer Science and Maths, M.Sc. in Computer Applications, SCSA. Comment Comment | Permalink | Was this review helpful to you?
