Oracle-centric XML development overview

The book provides an overview of XML from Oracle's standpoint. Chapter one is a basic introduction to XML itself, but from that point onwards it is more about how Oracle integrates XML into its products & how you might use them to put together a technology solution.If you are already vaguely familiar with what Oracle offer, then there this is a good starting point to determine how to solve problems using their fairly extensive toolset. Then you will probably want to purchase another title that focuses more upon the individual tools you choose.

Excellent book

I bought another book "Building Oracle XML Applications" after I saw the negative review about this book. However, I have to buy this book after I found the other book can not explain concept well. So far I am very happy about this book because it explain everything clearly. The previous two negative reviews are misleading. The fact that many good concepts are on oracle web site doesn't mean this not good. In contrast, I think this is a great book because it is written by the people who developed oracle xml and oracle web site contents.If I didn't see the previous two misleading rating, I would have saved a little money. I hope you didn't waste your money. If possible, go to book store and compare the two books by yourself. I highly recommend this book.

Good book to look for Oracle XML capabilites

This book summarizes the Oracle XML capabilities for B2B applications. It gives an excellent introduction on XML for beginners and walks the reader through a set of real world web based applications that can be built with Oracle technologies. It is highly recommended for any software developer who uses Oracle technology to run their B2B applications.
