An excellent resource for getting started with XML

This book provides enough detail to get started building applications today using XML and web services. There are good examples that you can use to understand the role of these technologies and design an application. This book doesn't give you all the details. Of course, you can always look up the details in the documentation. This book lets you see how it all works together. It is not an overview either. It is clearly targeted at developers. It is not a tutorial though, so don't expect your hand held through the process. With this book in hand, I had a web service running in about an hour. If you are a developer that wants to get started writing web services this book is for you.

right to the point for fast outcome and application

This is an excellent practical guide for developers actively engaged in the modern web applications creation and deployment.The powerful concept of the XML based distributed data managementis elaborated in necessary detail to bring the interested reader to the point of being able to build the robust software compliant with the latest W3 recommendations. In addition to reducing time spent browsing numerous pages of the online specs, the book also introduces a set of publicly and commercially available tools, and thoroughly walks through them on the base of many useful examples, notably, SOAP and SVG toolkits. Warning: this book can be used by a beginner, but not a complete novice. Do not expect to learn Java from this book either. This book is best used by a motivated engineer with a reasonable conceptual understanding of the Web, and with the vision of how the Web can help the company to succeed.
