Review title: Don't waste your money
Product review: This books is sorely lacking in real content. Yes - XBRL is based upon XML. Yes - XML definitions are available for financial statements. Yes - there are competing standards. Yes - XML is popular.There are no XBRL example in this 100+ page book. If you're looking for a real introduction to this topic, find it elsewhere. If you don't understand XML, ask someone or buy another book. Even though I bought a used copy of this book, it was a complete waste of money. The Title "Essentials" is terribly misleading. If you have a Dilbert-esk manager who is using an etch-a-sketch for a laptop, this book is for them. If you are actually reading the reviews on this book before purchasing it, you have already passed the intelligence test which disqualifies you from actually needing this book. Don't waste your money on this book.If all the books in this 'Essential Series' are also lacking in real content like this book, I would steer clear of those books too.
