Rating: - DO NOT BUY THIS BOOK!!
I give this book an incredible 2 thumbs down. ... I'm a web developer using technologies other than those discussed in the book, but have used ASP, VB, and SQL Server before. I bought this book because I thought it would help me build an XML application. However, what it does it show you how to use the "poorly" written application the author provides.
The book refers to source code on the "CD", but no CD was ever published with the book... you are required to download the source code from ... Read More
Rating: - Great book for learning how to publish documents to the web!
If you've ever had to complete a project that requires you to publish a Word document to the web, you'll fully appreciate the content in this book. Like Jesse states in his own review, most technical books usually give you all of the terms, definitions, and explanations up front and then try to follow that up with a useful example (in most cases, these are not practical examples and don't really help you to learn the material).

Rating: - Scratch This One from Your List!
I bought the book, and can't escape giving it 2 thumbs down. The reasons: First, it was difficult to follow because Liberty didn't give any overview of why he was doing the material in the book, iu.e., the particular software. He just takes advantage of built-in features of ie5 to convert between xhtml and xml, etc. There is no larger picture, no understanding, conveyed. All we know is that Jesse Libeerty wants to put this book on the web and here is the way to do it. Avoid this one and get XML Bible instead ... Read More
Rating: - XML Web Documents from Scratch
Jesse Liberty and Mike Kraley's XML Web Documents from Scratch(QUE Books) is a high-quality XML book for both beginning and advanceddevelopers. By using a practical web application, Liberty and Kraley describe the ins and outs of XML. I have read many other XML guidebooks/manuals, but none of them compare to XML Web Documents from Scratch. The only flaw I found in the book is that the authors refer to a CD that is supposed to be included, but it did not come with the first printing of the book...
