Complete

I have to say that this book IS complete about the XML for IE5 subject. Of course, this a Programmer's Reference so it's not a book to learn and it's obviously IE5 specific. If you can live with those constraint and you are looking to do get the best out of IE, take this book and you will have all required information.Bottom line, very practical and compact reference; but it will probably need some adjustments when Microsoft...

An excellent, complete reference to XML programming

This book is packed with information about all the programming aspects of XML. XSL/T and DOM get thorough coverage. Code examples are concise, illustrating a point without tedious detail. Many more complete examples are available at the publisher's site. The appendices provide complete specifications of the API's.This book also highlights IE5's XML implementation differences and extensions from the current W3C recommendations...

Concise and well-written

Finished this book in two days and made me fall in love with XML. This is the only book I've read on this subject but it still seems to cover most of the concepts you'd be concered with XML development in IE5. One of the few technical books I've read that I actually kinda enjoyed reading. If you're looking for a first book and a great reference book on XML in IE5 then this is definately the way to go.

A very good book.

Clear and concise. Good examples. Good warnings about features in the spec but not yet implemented in IE5. I'd also recommend "XML The Annotated Spec" by DuCharme.
