Title: The best XML book available today.
Product review: This is an excellent book on XML for the programmer who needs to know how to implement XML and it is also good for the layperson who wants to learn about XML. Perhaps not the best book for beginners, but I think the assumption is that if you know about XML, you are not one.The book is readable, well designed, and best of all they use my favorite format: They discuss a particular feature until every point is clear, then show an example in the 'Immediate Solutions' section. You can actually learn XML by reading this book and trying the examples. What a concept!I have read and returned a few XML books by the so-called masters, including the one by Goldfarb, and found them to be poorly written, obscure, or overpriced marketing tools(e.g. the XML Handbook.)The XML Black Book is the only XML book currently available that won't make you feel like you wasted your money.
