Imperfect XML: Rants, Raves, Tips, and Tricks ... from an Insider Review by Jack D. Herrington
If only the title matched the content
It's a little tough to review this book since in general this is a nice walkthrough of a variety of XML standards. The title, however, hints at a book that would discuss schema design and common XML issues. There is a need for that book, but this is not that book.
This book is a relatively short straightforward walkthrough of XML markup, data standards, searching, legacy conversions and performance. It's around 200 pages with around 20 pages. The tone is light but terse. Graphics are sparse and are used effectively.
I think this would be an ideal introductory work for someone just starting out with XML. Though I think there are other books that are as good or better.
If only this book had the content implied by it's title.
