A most disappointing book.
This book does nothing to connect the i5/iSeries/AS/400 to XML. It is a rambling, confusing look at XML with some interesting future considerations thrown in.
I agree with the other reviewer, buy a book on XML and then go to the IBM web site and find out what you need to accomplish the task.
I hope that the author will, in future editions, add concrete i5 (or whatever it will be called next month) information.
Poorly organized, no examples. Lightweight
This book is poorly organized. Has no programming examples and is just a brief cursory summary of XML. It has absolutely nothing that would give one an idea of how to put to use in an ISeries environment. By a book on XML for half the price, you will be glad you did.
