Review title: But why???
Product review: I've been interested in learning XML for some time now and checked out various websites and bought this book. But the sites and this book fail to give any reason why I should use XML... I've been working with VB, VBA, VBScript, C, C++, JAVA, JavaScript, and more for years and they all serve a clear purpose. I just cant figure out how XML makes my life easier - it just makes me type much more.As for the book, I found the figures much easier to follow than the text that refers to them. The text is very repetitive and bland (type this, type that). Also, there are constant references to other pages that kept me hopping around the book until I was cross-eyed.I recommend visiting IBM or Micro$oft and checking out their free online tutorials before reading this book, especially for newbies to XML like me.
