Quite Helpful

As a Java developer just getting my feet wet with SAX, I find The Book of SAX to be quite helpful and understandable. While I am not exactly a novice, I found this book to be very readable, instructive, and to comment on some other reviews I saw, original.

It is difficult to find any programming text that does not read like an translated VCR manual - however, in this case, SAX is presented fluidly and intelligently.

Additionally, the sample code was practical and well-written. I was able to use many examples almost verbatim in completing one of my own projects.

I highly recommend. And I just bought another copy for a friend.
