Learning Xml Step By Step
(Editorial Panel)
This book is one of a series of beautifully printed, concise, low
priced handbooks on IT (Information Technology) related topics,
targetted specifically at Beginners and Intermediate users .XML, an
acronym for eXtensible Markup Language is not a programming language
but a technique for structuring and formatting data that can be shared
among various applications running across various platforms.
This book covers a detailed approach to developing an XML document from
scratch and implementing CSS (Cascading Style Sheets - a simple
language that allows you to apply styles to your document) and XSLT(
XSL Transformation ) features on it along with hands on examples and
inbetween notes and useful tips so that the reader understands the
concepts faster and in an effective manner.Parsing techniques using DOM
and SAX are also covered. For the newbie, DOM stands for Document
Object Model and is an API to access data stored in the XML
Document.SAX provides an event based technique to parse an XML
document.If you want to know the difference between DOM and SAX then
read the book, because the explanation given is beautiful.
Personally, being a Software Engineer, I didnt know a word about XML
before purchasing this book.For the newbie, I would recommend this book
since the language is simple and explanation beautiful.Advanced users
or users with good knowledge of XML can skip this book.Indian readers
will be delighted because this book offers the best bang for the
buck.Other books in XML published by Wrox or McGraw Hill are steeply
priced and beyond the reach of students.I do not know whether MBD
makes a good profit through this book series , but I definitely
admire their initiative for coming up with a beautiful book priced
specifically for the price conscious reader.
