XML Step by Step, Second Edition
Superb organization and presentation of the material. All code functions, all examples are relevant. Excellent development of the topics. Were all texts to be this will organized.
Useful!
I am just learning XML for the first time and this book walks me through it the way I need to be walked through it.
Stop Searching. Begin here
I am one of those freaks who would look at a bezillion books before settling with one. (Talking about computer books ofcourse!). This is especially significant when it comes to XML because there is so much tech jargon out there & it is really hard find a book that does not get lost in the details & instead introduce us to the core right away. This book does exactly that. You will start writing decent xml right away.
The following will be helpful.
1. HTML knowledge (a little)
2. The concept of scripts
3. The concept of CSS
4. The concept of XML
When I say 'the concept of', I am only talking about a surface level, "Purpose of existence" kind. Even if you don't know anything about XML, you will be fine with this book.
The book gradually introduces the concepts & does a very neat job of explaining new ideas.
Peace.
An easy introduction to XML for the uninitiated
Some experience with HTML might be mandatory. But, the examples are excellent and easy to follow. And the text is neither dry nor simple minded.
A book for XML beginners
This is a book for beginners. I bought the first edition and it gave me all the important information about XML before I started working with it. When I first read it, I thought it was a wonderful book and it was very easy to understand. You will now what's XML in one week and you'll be able to start using it in only two days just by looking at the examples.Unfortunately, right now I know there's so much more out there about XML than the information contained on the book and believe me, once that you read it, you are never going to used it again because it's not a good book for reference.
I would recommend you to look for a different book with more examples, source code, advanced features or even one that can be used as a reference in your future work.
