Average Rating:  out of 5 stars

Rating: 4 out of 5 stars - fast reading book
I usually read just to get a big picture. I thought this did the job. Dummies Books are a lot more palatable than other books on topics as dry as this.



Rating: 5 out of 5 stars - Great Book
I'm never disappointed with Dummies books and this one is no exception. Great read, easy to learn.



Rating: 5 out of 5 stars - Reviews Are About A Different Edition of XML For Dummies
These reviews are all very misleading as they refer to a previous edition of the book which is no longer available, the third edition of XML For Dummies. XML For Dummies, 4th edition, the book featured here, addresses many of the concerns raised in the reviews of the third edition.



Rating: 2 out of 5 stars - Just flat out wrong sometimes
As a complete newbie to XML this was a good starter. As I got deeper into XML I found several mistakes/deficiencies in the book, and sometimes the author just flat out seemed to not know what he was talking about. For instance, the claim on page 86 that (#CDATA) is a valid DTD element content definition is flat out wrong.

Rating: 1 out of 5 stars - For real dummies
If you want to kill your time without learning anything, this book is absolute right for you.
