Summary: Solid!
Comment: As with virtually all O'Reilly books, Learning XML is an excellent reference book. It takes a look at all "parts" of this fairly new markup language, which you could say "boldy goes where HTML has not gone before." XML lets the user create their own markup language, but it isn't without its complexities, which is where this book helps greatly. Chapters on how it got started and what it is, the actual markup (including detailed explanations of elements, attributes, namespaces, and entities), connecting resources with links, stylesheets, and even one on programming in XML help the reader understand more about how this markup language can be best used.
A great book to have if you want or need to learn the "nuts and bolts" of XML.

Summary: A nice enough book, but...
Comment: As with most O'Reilly books, the production/editing of this book is excellent. It is a great introduction to the technologies around XML, but doesn't really give you enough to get started with XML.
For example, there is a great introduction to current XML parsers out there for XML, but you never really find out how to use them (granted, this may be the topic of a more advanced book...). What exactly do I do with an XML file? I'm not sure this question is really answered.
Now don't get me wrong, I'm glad I bought this book, and I know this book will be a good reference source in the future. I'm just not sure this is the first place to stop in learning XML.

Summary: Describes XML, doesn't teach you to write XML
Comment: I was hoping for more, but this book does a good job describing all of the elements of XML. Not a book on writing XML.
