Title: book is terrible.
Product review: If you have any java programming experience whatsoever, this book is not for you. Even if you have no java experience, this book is not for you because its code examples are horrible and half of them do not even work. The first 1/3 of the book details how to write overly simplistic programs and files in java and xml. However, when you get to the part of the book that actually goes into what you want to learn, it provides very few details, sometimes only a page of text dedicated to a topic. This book takes the very basics of java and the very basics of XML - but if you hope to do anything further than write "Hello, World" to an XML file and then read "Hello, World" back into an object - this book is definately not for you. And if you are a beginner, consider other texts.
