Book Reviews
"...a well-written book for experienced VB programmers and ASP developers
to introduce them to XML programming. I recommend this book if you're
looking at learning XML programming and give it 5 stars out of 5."
--Mitch Tulloch, Swynk.com
"This book is refreshingly compact, it's less than 300 pages and packed - not so much with screenshots which pad so many of today's books - but rather with code snippets, URL and sample XML documents that will help you understand the technology that the book explains. And how well it explains it!
If you don't know your DTD from your XSLT then this is the book for
you. It describes the basic principles of the XML meta language and how
it fits in with other web technologies like XSL, HTML, VRML. For a VB
Programmer this book is in my opinion the best entry point into XML. And
in a climate where XML is a buzzword and receiving so much attention,
you'd do well to get hold of a copy and read it."
--Graham Parker, posted on the VB User's
Group website

"This book is a good example, of how books should be written. It sticks
to the topic and assumes you have the background to understand what they
are talking about. As for the XML content, this is a great book for your
first look at XML, what to use it for and how to use it. There is plenty
of code in the book, which you can download from their web site. Get this
book now and get started with XML."
