1.0 out of 5 stars
Amazon...please allow us to give "negative" ratings...!,
By A Customer
This review is from: XML Black Book 2nd Edition: The Complete Reference for XML Designers and Content Developers (Paperback)
If you want to get confused about understanding XML...this is the book you should be looking for. It is a waste of time and money for those who wants to understand XML. The book doesn't explain any fundamental concepts (of elements, attributes, entities, etc) and instead make the subject complex by poor style of it's writing. If it were not my company's book, I would have torn it and thrown straight into the trash can...!The book has made a very bad impression of "Black Book" series and Coriolis Publishers, in general, on me.

1.0 out of 5 stars
Department of Redundancy Department,
By Mike Maxwell (Waxhaw, NC United States) - See all my reviews
This review is from: XML Black Book 2nd Edition: The Complete Reference for XML Designers and Content Developers (Paperback)
I want to echo another reviewer's comment that this book is excruciatingly redundant. _Elementary_ concepts get repeated page after page, until you want to scream.
1.0 out of 5 stars
Wish I could give it zero stars,

This review is from: XML Black Book 2nd Edition: The Complete Reference for XML Designers and Content Developers (Paperback)
Put frankly, this book is terrible. No time spent teaching anything about XML, just reasons why we should use it, repeated again and again, chapter after chapter. ... Officially, my first and last purchase of the "Black Book" series.
