3.0 out of 5 stars Not what I expected., 8 Jun 2001
By A Customer
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!!

1.0 out of 5 stars Thank God I didn't buy it, 9 Feb 2004
By A Customer
This review is from: XML for Dummies (For Dummies (Computers)) (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.

1.0 out of 5 stars DO NOT BUY THIS BOOK, 4 Oct 1999
By A Customer
This review is from: XML for Dummies (Paperback)
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.
