Very Disappointing
I've read scores of computer books, including quite a few from the "Teach Yourself..."
This is not the book for someone seeking to learn XML.


Great book
A great book, very thorough. Unlike certain titles, in particular certain Dummies title's (not all), I was and am not distracted by useless material and often dry humor from this title, but useful information that I need in order to make XML pages, as well as showing other aspects that support/improve upon XML's capabilities (JavaScript, Flavors of ML, .NET, etc.) without confusing the reader. If you want an interesting technical book geared towards delivering knowledge about XML and it's purpose, I would recommend this book - if you want an exciting book, get an action title. This book should be retitled Teach Yourself XML in 210 Days, not 21. (Eggheaded mathematicians are wont to do the same, which is why there are so few who know how to teach math.)

At then end of the fourth chapter I still had absolutely no idea what XML was good for and whether it was worth the long learning curve or not. But if a book can't tell me within four chapters what its subject is useful for then it's not a book I can recommend.
