Rating: - Good book leads me to understand very deeply
When I start with XML, I don't even know what that is, I have the basic knowledge of HTML, and a little bit about Basic, right now, I'm being able to write my own dynamic website by using XML. It is very understandable. It's worth it to buy it.
Rating: - Must Have XML Book
I have read many XML books in the last six books. Many are outdate by June of 2000. This book and the Professional ASP XML book are definitely the most update xml books I have read so far. This book is definitely very good for beginners unlike XML IE5 Reference by Wrox every chapters in this book is worth the money. In XML IE5 Reference, only chapter 5-8 are good chapters and chapter 1-4 are very confusing chapters. Most important, the examples on XSL in this book works on Microsoft Technologies such as IE5 and IIS4 & IIS5 unlike other XML books on XSL they don't work with IE5. Lastly, the only critical thing I have on all wrox books on the topic of XML is that the examples give the XML and XSL source but not the html output as a result of the combination of XML and XSL through either ASP or just XML referencing the XSL.
