4.0 out of 5 stars
Good solid book - works as an intro and a reference
When I was trying to pick a book to fill in the gaps (chasms) in my XML experience, I routed around in the amazon percentage, (what percent of people bought this book, what percent bought other books.) This one seemed to have a good go-to ratio, and on one of the other books, the review referred to this one. I bought it second hand and got an excellent price. I am...

Can be a reference.
This book has got a decent content about XML. But, most pages have been added to technologies that aren't being used much and just adds bulk to the book. A little rhetoric and not always concise to the point; but can live with it. Over all a good reference book. 3 Stars.

Amazon Verified Purchase(What's this?)
This review is from: Professional XML (Programmer to Programmer) (Paperback)
When I was trying to pick a book to fill in the gaps (chasms) in my XML experience, I routed around in the amazon percentage, (what percent of people bought this book, what percent bought other books.) This one seemed to have a good go-to ratio, and on one of the other books, the review referred to this one. I bought it second hand and got an excellent price. I am pleased. It reads easily and has a useful index.
With that said, this 800+ page book includes: XML Basics: Syntax, Editors, Other tools Presentation: XHTML and CSS XML-FO Defining Structure: DTDs and Schemas (and Relax NG) XML as Data: the template translator XSLT, XPath, and XQuery XML in the Data Tier, relation to relational DBs Programming XML: the XML Document Object Model (DOM), Simple API for XML (SAX) ,and yes Ajax, XML and .Net, XML and Java, Python, Ruby, and Perl XML Services: RSS and Atom, Web services SOAP and WSDL: Advanced Web services more stuff including 30 pages of XML in Office Development.

Complete XML presentation,
This review is from: Professional XML (Programmer to Programmer) (Paperback)
XML is everywhere today. Before reading this book I had a good understanding of XML but after finishing it I can say that I have a deep understanding of the subject. The book covers XML, XSLT, XHTML, CSS, XSL-FO, different XML schemas, XSLT, XPath, XQuery in great detail using very comprehensive hand-on examples. It goes further on covering AJAX, XML and .NET, XML and JAVA. The books includes a very detailed explanation of SOAP, WSDL and Web Services. It also introduces Resource Description Framework and the Semantic Web.
This book is for anyone that wants to get a deep understanding of XML. It is not a light introduction. It is not a book for platform specific Web Services implementation (ex. WCF) I recommend it for everyone who really wants to understand XML for professional use.
