Presenting XML

Unlike many other authors, Richard Light doesn't assume that his readers embrace the new technology he describes--in this case, XML. At the start, he answers the question of why XML is even necessary. Presenting XML provides information in usable chunks, allowing the reader to easily scan the subchapter titles. Geared toward the user somewhat familiar with the tenets of web design, Presenting XML includes information about basic HTML concepts such as entities and attributes and explains the best means of converting existing HTML to XML. Light later delves into creating XML applications. Presenting XML is comprehensive, full of resources and examples, and contains a well-documented index. For anyone wanting the whole story on XML, this book runs the gauntlet from introductory tutorial to trusted reference guide.
