Still a very usefull book

Although Microsoft has moved on to VB.net, many developers are still using VB6. It has become increasingly hard to find VB6 XML info on, say, MSDN, so a book like this is essential.The code examples are clear and practical. The book manages to work well both as a how-to and a reference. If I were to nitpick, there are two things would mention. First, because of when the book was published, it does not cover the most currenrt version MSXML. However, porting the code samples to newer versions of the DLL is quite easy. Second, the book does not come with a CD. An HTML or PDF version of the book, with a searchable index, would be sweet. Overalll, though, this is a good deal if, like so many, you are still working with VB6.

Concise, Lots of code, worth the money

I looked for a book that would explain how I can use msxml.dll. This book had lots of examples that I used in my own app. The content was accurate, and simply laid out. Its worth the money!

Excellently Specialised.

Not everyone has hitched their bandwagon to the Java steamroller and it is a pleasure to see that quality specialist guides are still being developed for VB.The introduction and coverage of XML is excellent and its interface with VB explained in great detail. As well as being an informative read the index is comprehensive already making my copy of the book a well thumbed reference.Recommended.

This is a super book.

Of all the XML books I have, this one certainly takes the cake. The chapter on DOM is excellent. The SOAP chapters are a real gem. I had some problem with one the XSLT sample working, I contacted the author and got a response within few hours with the latest source code. The other Wrox book, Professional XML by Stephen Mohr et al is great too. These red books rock.

Excellent Content!

From beginning to end, this book extensively covers the XML interface to VB. This book incorporates the fundamental ideas behind XML and gives thorough examples of how and where Visual Basic comes into the picture. I've read some other books on the market that just briefly touch on topic's that this book ends up disecting and, in the process, actually EXPLAIN to you just what is taking place in the code. I recommend this book for a moderate to experienced programmer in VB - they'll teach you the XML you need to know in order to be truly knowledgable.
