Rating:
Summary: Gets to the point, and written in plain English.
Review: This book gives you a macroscopic idea on XML and other technologies related to XML,SOAP,Web services etc.

It have only some 200 pages except for appendix. but it gets to the point and neither redundant nor verbose.

I'm sure this book will give you a entry point of the XML and Web services technologies.
