Companion articles on www.codenotes.com cover XML development with Perl, integrating XML with databases, important grammars such as XHTML and SOAP, and much more. CodeNotes for XML is your guide to these powerful technologies, presented within the context of the distributed application, database, or web-based world you already know.

This edition of CodeNotes includes:

-A global overview of a technology and explanation of what problems it can be used to solve

This review is from: CodeNotes for XML (Paperback)

If you want to learn the guts of XML and want do it in a short period of time, then this is the right book. The book starts out very well with everything you should know about XML (XML Syntax, Namespace, Well formed XML, DTD etc.) in a few pages and then gets to the core XSLT, XPath, programming DOM and SAX, and finally XML Schema. A very good read that serves the purpose.
