4.0 out of 5 stars Good solid book - works as an intro and a reference, April 23, 2009
By Gary "Tool Geek" (Rochester, MN United States) - See all my reviews
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.

3.0 out of 5 stars Can be a reference., April 14, 2008
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.
