5.0 out of 5 stars XML Content and Data, April 18, 2002

By	Hazemi (Saratoga, CA USA) - See all my reviews

The book is almost 400 pages and all 400 are material, The argument for the importance of XML is made quickly, and the basics of well-formed syntax are tackled right off. The wise use line by line explanations and their analysis gives readers the feeling that the authors are sitting by their side and showing them how to code scripts. One notable distinction of this book is its excellent coverage of related technologies, such as CSS, DOM, XSLT, DTD, Schema, XSL and WML.
