Thank God I didn't buy it (1/1 people found this helpful)
I had to do some work in XML and found this book lurking around the office. I've read a lot of books on IT and this is by far the worst. I didn't think it was possible for 350 pages of references and tutorials to teach me nothing, until I read this. Please don't waste your time with this book, it is useless.
Not what I expected. (8/8 people found this helpful)
I was hoping to get a thorough beginners introduction to xml but all I got were stabs in the dark!! A little disappointing for the dummies range. Not really worth the dough! Try Inside XML by Steve Holzner. It's bulky,(1000 pages!) but very informative, and great value for money!!
Absolutely awful (2/2 people found this helpful)
I bought this book hopeing it would explain to me the basics of xml and help me make simple xml based web pages. The book is not clear, contains numerous irrelevant distractions and did not meet my aims. Anyone wanting to learn xml shoul avoid this book at all costs.
DO NOT BUY THIS BOOK (2/2 people found this helpful)
This is the worst book I have ever read on any computing subject. It side tracks into SGML, pads out the already weak content and point you to broken links on the web.
The Dummies WROTE the book...and BOUGHT it! (0/0 people found this helpful)
Given that this book was written over a year ago and is based on a specification that is STILL changing, I suppose it is too much to ask that it would actually contain some information that is still relevent. Incorrect information and expired links plague this book making it essentially un-usable. Too much emphasis on SGML, and not enough on actually teaching novices how to program in XML.
