.NET and XML Review by nine.jack.nine
Well written reference primer
This is a first edition book on the .net platform's foundation Xml libraries. It was written more than five years ago, but still remains an excellent resource to anyone trying to get a handle on all those angle brackets (especially if you've just been thrown at a project with minimal exposure to Xml, and you think that learning LINQ sounds like wayyy too much work. Not that such a thing would ever happen in the software development world, of course). Bornstein's writing is quick and engaging, and most importantly: helpful.
That being said, it is an older book, pre-dating even .net 2.0, so some of what is discussed is depricated material. Perhaps surprisingly, quite a bit of the material is still relevant in this modern .net 3.5 (soon 4.0) / Silverlight era.
I wish there was a second edition, so I could give five stars.
