Summary: Oh Boy! It finished teaching HTML....
Comment: I thought this book was supposed to be teaching us XML but it goes on about HTML and how it is the distant cousin of XML and how XML is soon going to be the parent of HTML. The author hasn't even tried to get in-depth of the whole XML concept it seems as though the author just wanted to get a book out and here was a great opportunity for her. The author gets into a subject and does not explain it there and then instead you are referred to another "Skill" in the book. That becomes frustrating. If you really want to learn XML better get another book, you will be wasting your time, money and mind on this book.

Summary: OK... nothing great!
Comment: The book is intended for beginners with little or no knowledge of HTML / XML. The book is long and it takes a while before you get to introduce the XML code.

After that, the book just offers a lengthy explanation for every sample bit of code. The book does not give any hands-on practice. The author keeps mentioning that "it's time to get your hands dirty" with some XML code, but never tells you to write a sample code.

The book is ok, but you would need another book to give you some hands-on experience.

Overall, the book is nothing to rave about!

Summary: One of the worst book
Comment: From the beginning of the book, the author stated that the buyer of the book will eventually "get their hands dirty" in later chapter. That's what I have been hoping for. After I have finished almost three quarter of the book, I still have not seen any hand-ons tutorial that I could do. All I got from the book was long-winded explaination.

My advise is, find another book if you really want to learn XML.
