XML in Action (IT Professional) Review by M. Carter (reviewer)
XML in real life
That's the strength of this title. It focuses on how xml can and should and is being used in the real world. Too many books documented xml in abstract and in theory and while that's a good place to begin the learning process, it's just not enough.
This was the first xml book I read and it immediately helped me understand 'how' xml should be used as opposed just 'what' xml was. That understanding helped me apply the language to real systems and real business requirements.
Be sure to check out the CD-ROM which contains code examples and supplemental documentation.
Having said all this, I would still recommend you get a purely theory-based book to supplement with this guide because its coverage of the syntax is not completely comprehensive.
Either way, it's higly recommended, especially now when xml has found itself into every corder of the IT world.
