Title: XPath and XPointer by John E. Simpson ISBN: 0-596-00291-2 Publisher: O'Reilly & Associates Pub. Date: 01 August, 2002 Format: Paperback Volumes: 1 List Price(USD): $24.95 |
Average Customer Rating: 3.62 (8 reviews)
Rating: 3
Summary: Fine reference but covered in other books
Comment: This is a relatively short book on XPath and, as one of the other reviews points out, it tends to complicate what is generally a fairly simple standard. The XPath portion of the XSLT : Programmer's Reference from Michael Kay is more succinct covers the important parts in enough detail to get the job done.

Summary: The complexity of the book hides the simplicity of XPath
Comment: O'Reilly books are usually a good choice for a professional to learn a concept in an effective way. However, this book is an exception. If you think XPath looks difficult, it is just because this book makes it _seem_ difficult. Read the official W3C specifikation instead and you will see how simple XPath really is.
The book incorporates a lot of discussions about XPath but they really get in the way of XPath, beeing presented the way they are. It would have been more effective if the book explained XPath just by including the 30 pages of XPath specification, and instead focused not on explaing, but on discussing aspects.
My main point is that you learn to use, as well as master, XPath an order of magnitude faster by reading the specification than by reading this book.
