Böcker av Soo Mee Foo

MOST XML BOOKS in the market today fall into two main categories: They either focus just on the theoretical aspects of the language, or they contain everything related to XML and weigh more than five kilograms! When we first taught XML to beginners, we wanted to find a book that covered just enough ofXML without overwhelming them. We looked for a book that covered not just the fundamen- tals ofXML, but one that also contained the most importantXML-related technologies. Not only that, the book had to illustrate some of the practical uses ofXML in the real world. We.realized that we had to produce a book that targeted beginning to intermediate XML programmers. As trainers, we know the importance of a book that explains concepts clearly and contains concrete code examples illustrating the theory just explained. We carefully reviewed the various XML technologies and specifications that are available today, and in the end, we decided on the most common XML technologies in use today: XPath, XSLT, DOM, SAX, XML in SQL Server, WML, SOAP and XML Schema.
