Review title: High Thud Factor; Low on Content
Product review: It appears I am in the minority with my opinion of this book, but I'll state it anyway.The book is too broad with the result that it doesn't cover anything in sufficient detail. An example of this is four chapters that are heavily Java based ("Creating Variables in Java" and so on). If I had wanted a Java Programming book, I would have bought one. The space should have been put to use covering XML Schemas (or many other topics) in much greater detail.My second complaint is that Mr. Holzner was apparently paid by the word for this one so he repeats examples over and over, just highlighting different lines. This means that packing this title in your carry-on may well result in an excess baggage fee.It looks impressive in the bookcase, though, and if that's your reason for buying, don't let me stop you.
