Average Customer Review: based on 58 reviews.
Customer Review: This is the best comprehensive introduction to XML (XML, namespaces, schemas, XSL and styles, XML in databases, XML web services, and more). I checked over 10 similar books, but this one surpass the value of any of them. But be aware that this book is an introduction (Well, maybe more than an introduction). It will be necessary othe...

XML in a Nutshell, Third Edition
by Elliotte Rusty Harold, W. Scott Means
Average Customer Review: based on 17 reviews.
Customer Review: This book is by far the best book I've read on XML. Typical of O'Reilly "In a Nutshell" books, the converage of XML is fast paced and complete. Your money will be well spent on this book. I even think most beginners will do well with this one!

Learning XML, Second Edition
by Erik T. Ray
Average Customer Review: based on 38 reviews.
Customer Review: I am amplifying a prior review (Daniel McKinnon's) in order to balance a misperception as to the intent and execution of the book. This is not XSLT or XPath or "DOM processing in Firefox" or "node traversals with Java", it's an introduction to XML. If you need a solid foundation upon which to base further study, I wholly recommend t...

XML Pocket Reference (Pocket Reference (O'Reilly))
by Simon St. Laurent, Michael James Fitzgerald
Average Customer Review: based on 6 reviews.
Customer Review: I am one of the coauthors of this book. I feel compelled to write a review in support of my friend and coauthor, Simon St. Laurent, who wrote the section on XML Schema. Of the 160 pages of text in XML Pocket Reference, Third Edition, 71 pages are dedicated to XML Schema. That's 44 percent of the book. Of the 71 pages, 16 pages cover ...

Definitive XML Schema
by Priscilla Walmsley
Average Customer Review: based on 32 reviews.
Customer Review: Walmsley's book is the one I go to as the reference for W3C Schema. It is clear and very accurate and reliable. I find the examples relevant and helpful. I had to chuckle at a previous review that couldn't understand why something was found in multiple places. Well perhaps it is used in several places. I would be happy that the inde...

XML Schema: The W3C's Object-Oriented Descriptions for XML
by Eric van der Vlist
Average Customer Review: based on 10 reviews.
Customer Review: This book is very dry and terse. It has all of the required content but it doesn't provide much perspective of how it should be used. You could use it as a reference, but I recommend the XML Schema Companion before this one.

XML All-in-One Desk Reference for Dummies
by Richard Wagner, Richard Mansfield
Average Customer Review: based on 4 reviews.
Customer Review: The author's have done an outstanding job in writing the book. I found that even the mundane details were covered in the right place and with a little humor. The coverage starts out very simple, so many people won't use the beginning chapters extensively. However, as the book progresses, the coverage becomes more technical and I thin...

Xpath and Xpointer: Locating Content in XML Documents
by John Simpson
Average Customer Review: based on 7 reviews.
Customer Review: XPath is a crucial but often neglected technology for any developer that need to deal with XSLT in a serious way and it's also fully integrated in many XML parsers, like the ones from Microsoft or ColdFusion. This is a small and very focused book that manages to offer a detailed coverage of XPath mixed with some excellent practical a...

Processing XML documents with Oracle JDeveloper 11g
by Deepak Vohra
Average Customer Review: based on 6 reviews.
Customer Review: I can honestly say that this is the best XML on Oracle book that I have read in years. This book is the perfect reference for someone experienced in Java and XML to get their feet wet using Oracle JDeveloper 11g. While this book will not teach you XML or Java, if you are already using either of these technologies, and want to try Ora...

Beginning XML with DOM and Ajax: From Novice to Professional (Beginning: From Novice to Professional)
by Sas Jacobs
Average Customer Review: based on 10 reviews.
Customer Review: I thought this was a great book. My firm was embarking on developing a web service that was using SOAP and XML. We had never developed using these tools and protocols. SAS did a fine job of making it short and sweet on what needs to be done. This books is well written with good examples and without over complicating the technology. ...
