XML provides a way of structuring data so that it can be exchanged between Web sites running on different platforms. This text contains information on aspects of XML development including XHTML, XSLT, SMIL (multimedia XML), SAX, SOAP, and Microsoft BizTalk.
I often tried to understand what XML is through several published tutorials on the web. With my ASP knowledge I thought this topic would be easy to explain but I could not make sense of what they tried to tell me in these tutorials until I bought this book. It was then clear that XML is not as easy to explain in a couple of pages as HTML is. This book does a thorough job in teaching you step by step what XML is about and how you can put it to use in the real world.
The best XML resource out there.

This is the most comprehensive and up to date XML book I have seen yet. It offers a tremendous range of online resources and I find myself referencing it continually. The introductory chapters make XML accessible to programmers and non-programmers alike and it only gets better from there. If you can only buy one book on XML, this is definitely the one to get.

I have read many a book on XML and nothing quite captures the essence of XML quite like this book. Packed full of real world case studies and tons of information on everything from Java to XPath. Quite a useful book if you are looking to get up to speed on almost anything XML you can imagine. The layout of the book is great and the text is easy to read. All in all you cant go wrong with this book if you need an XML companion and you develop software with XML
