As someone new to XML Schema, this book was just what I was looking for - a comprehensive introduction that I could read from cover to cover.It assumes knowledge of XML and DTDs, but otherwise guides you very systematically through the topics, without a need to flip back and forth.It is neither a tutorial, nor a reference, but has very clear examples to learn from and is well-enough laid out to serve as a reference later.In contrast to many IT books, it is written in an engaging style that I found easy to read as a narrative.It lends itself well to reading a chapter, then starting up an XML editor and experimenting. Then trying the next chapter and so on.
