Product Description
1. Instructions: Instead of giving you raw syntax as in a conventional reference volume, I walk you through building the tags, step by step.
2. Diagrams: Because the actual work involves tiny bits of punctuation, I give you large diagrams, showing each piece of the structure, up front. You can see the structure you are building, right in front of you.
3. Examples: Many folks say that the examples really help them understand the guidelines. Each step has at least one example, so you can follow those, as you construct the tag.
4. Answers: I have responded to some of the most common questions that come up when I teach this material to professional writers, managers, and other non-programmers in a classroom. Answers to challenges appear in the back of the book.
Aimed at non-programmers, this tutorial takes you by the hand, and walks you through the process of constructing each type of tag. The book is based on the popular course at the University of California, Santa Cruz, XML for the Rest of Us. You can complete the tutorial in 5 hours. Outcome: You can read and write XML.
You can take an XML document, understand it, and modify it without damaging the tags.
You can write your own original XML document accurately and correctly.
And this tutorial offers lots of supporting material at the back.
1. Considering Tools: Applications in which you use XML to create or manage content.
2. Sites.
4. Answers to all the challenges.
5. A to Z of XML Markup: A quick reference.
6. Index.
