Summary: Great, clear coverage of XML Schema
Comment: I'm new to XML, Schemas, etc. This is my first book regarding XML, and I feel like I came away with a lot of knowledge from it. I'm sure you can get the table of contents from other reviews and from Amazon's "sneak peeks", so I'll forego that and get on with personal opinion. Walmsley has a nice, clear writing style that only requires one read to grasp her points. Yes, I understand that most (if not all) of this material is living for free on one or more web sites, but I prefer to have it all in one well-written book. This was definitely worth the money.

Summary: Both a tutorial and a reference
Comment: I'm really pleased with this book. It is the clearest introduction to the subject I have found. It even made namespaces seem simple. It can be read sequentially, but also used as a reference. Some reviewers thought it was just a retelling of the spec (which in itself is quite useful given the complexity of the spec!) but I think it had a lot more than that, because it explained why you use certain functionality and in what situations, something the spec doesn't seem to address. The chapter on Extensibility and Reuse was particularly helpful to us in writing schemas that can be extended and reused by others who want to customize ours. I also really like that the author is part of the committee that designed XML Schema - it gives me confidence that the book is accurate and current.
Rating: 5
Summary: excellent explanations along with equally good examples
Comment: I've had many questions about particular aspects of XML Schema. This book has never failed to answer my questions in an easy to understand style. Also, the examples provided for each topic are excellent!
