Editorial Reviews
Amazon.com With article titles like "The Web Is Ruined and I Ruined It" (a rumination on "HTML terrorism"), Dan Connolly has assembled an amusing and well-paced commentary on XML. XML: Principles, Tools, and Techniques is not strictly a tutorial. However, as Connolly outlines in the introduction, this book attempts to cover "the complete technical specification, primers, implementation case studies, applications, and even historical and philosophical reflections on the emerging role of XML." XML: Principles, Tools, and Techniques is an insider's trove of articles such as Michael Leventhal's, "XML: Can the Desperate Perl Hacker Do It?" This thorough collection also contains articles covering a wide variety of topics relevant to XML implementation: Perl, MathML, cascading style sheets (CSS), Lark, Java Universal Markup Language (JUMBO) and Web Interface Definition Language (WIDL). Synopsis This issue of the "Web Journal", by guest editor Dan Connolly, is the readers' first look at the technical specifications and early applications of a new data format that will rock every aspect of the Web, including markup, linking and exchange. The shift to XML will unleash a diverse range of new applications, ranging from mathematical equation structures to new browser and client tools. The author, Dan Connolly , October 2, 1997 Nuts and Bolts of XML, plus relationship with HTML and SGML I have to say, after working on HTML, and hence SGML, for these many years, it's gratifying to see our efforts to address problems with both of them take off beyond my wildest expectations. I hope this book will help you get up to speed on XML, and more than that, get into the nitty gritty and build things with it.

This was the first XML text I bought back in 1998 and I found it to be great. It is a shame that it is out of print (like O'Reilly's excellent DCE books).

Not a Good Introduction - Search for something else.

If you are looking for a book to introduce you to XML, this is not the one. This book is basically a bunch of papers and articles slammed together and sold as a book. It doesn't have any continuity or proper flow. Every paper tries to introduce XML in a different way, which leaves the reader confused and disappointed. I will be looking for another book.
