XPath Essentials

Rating:
Summary: One of the best written books!
Review: Andrew Watt has very clearly and finely explained the concepts and gave plenty of examples. If you must have a very progressive learning tool, this author and book serves without fail.

Rating:
Summary: Awful
Review: This book is filled with XML, HTML, XSL...but not much XPath! It's virtually impossible to use as a reference (almost non-existent index) and essential topics are all too often skipped over.

Probably a reasonable book for an introduction to XPath but just not sufficiently definitive for professional use.

Too much narrative NOT ENOUGH XPath!

The publisher is Wiley. I've not bought a Wiley book since I was at university. I must remember to avoid this publisher in the future.
