Customer Reviews

Great book for learning how to publish documents to the web!

If you've ever had to complete a project that requires you to publish a Word document to the web, you'll fully appreciate the content in this book. Like Jesse states in his own review, most technical books usually give you all of the terms, definitions, and explanations up front and then try to follow that up with a useful example (in most cases, these are not practical examples and don't really help you to learn the material). I particularly like the way this book dives right into a specific problem and forces you to learn everything as the project progresses. One of our current projects requires us to publish a fairly lengthy document to the web. Although our client currently is not requiring us to move the document to XML, we have a feeling that this may someday be a requirement and are approaching this project exactly like the one given in this book. Even if you are not currently involved in a similar project, the benefits of seeing how XML and XSL can be applied in a real-world project are huge!

XML Web Documents from Scratch

Jesse Liberty and Mike Kraley's XML Web Documents from Scratch(QUE Books) is a high-quality XML book for both beginning and advanceddevelopers. By using a practical web application, Liberty and Kraley describe the ins and outs of XML. I have read many other XML guidebooks/manuals, but none of them compare to XML Web Documents from Scratch. The only flaw I found in the book is that the authors refer to a CD that is supposed to be included, but it did not come with the first printing of the book...
