Customer Reviews

A business approach

If you are in business and IT, read this book. Go elsewhere to learn how to program XML. Read this to learn WHY you need to understand XML, its applications, its potential -- make a wise, informed business decision (and if you don't use it, be prepared to explain why not).

Dry Sense of Humor

Simon writes with a twinkle in his eye, as he explains the technical aspects of XML in business terms. His business focus provides a general understanding to both business people and college students. His large number of examples and metaphors will also prove useful for others who are trying to explain the amazing powerful of the XML technology.

Good Introduction

This is a good book for people and students who want an overview of XML. There are many, many examples of where businesses have used XML. And there are many examples of different XML vocabularies.Some XML books are technical with only a little big picture ovoerview. I like this book because it helped me understand and explain why someone would want to use XML. Highly Recommended.

How to succeed with XML

If you need to explain XML to management read this book or if you are management read this book. Solid information with just the right slant to make the impact of XML understandable for the non technical person. The snippets of humor interspersed between the chapters kept a grin on this reader's face as the material was absorbed!

Practical

So many XML books today are either too high level or too low level. This book gives a very good forest level view of what XML is, why it's such a big deal, where it's going, and how it can help my organization.
