Summary: very kind and gentle intro to the subject
Review: Excellent. I found XML technology very approachable by reading this book. i have completed part 1 now. It has given me a solid first view of XML. really great if you are new to XML. The author almost approaches all our questions and answers it in sequence.It is as if a live teacher is sitting before us and guiding through the subject. Yes - it is a one step by one step to the subject. CONGRATULATIONS,sean Mcgrath, you are a wonderful travel guide to the world of XML. you have brought me to the exciting world of XML.

Summary: Gee, this book [stinks]!
Review: I have read books about HTML, JavaScript, C++ and honestly THIS BOOK IS THE WORST that I have ever read! I wanted to learn some XML from this book, it starts talking about its capabilities, use, implementation, functionality, examples, examples, blah, blah, blah... zzzzz.
If you want to learn how to use XML take my advice, do not consider this book. However, if you know XML this book has examples of how can XML be implemented, though I think it is not worth its price.

Summary: little more than a "gee-whiz" book for non-techies
Review: I was greatly disappointed with the contents of this book and above all after learning that the editor is the one who invented SGML(Mother of XML)...they should think a hundred times before writing this kinda books. Please stop circulating this book in the market. Why are you people giving wrong information to people???

Summary: little more than a "gee-whiz" book for non-techies
Review: Others have already said it better than I, so I'll keep this short:* not enough information to be useful * poor presentation of the details * it only babbles on and on about how great XML is, without telling you anything about any pitfalls or, for example, the shortcomings of DTDs. Charles Goldfarb should actually look at these books, before lending his name to them. If you want the real deal, go with the Wrox Press book: Professional XML. Sure, it's big, weighs a ton, and you'll probably never need to look at more than a third of it, but I swear even just the first 4 chapters are worth the price of the entire book!

Summary: Don't waste your money
Review: This is a worthless book. The title is completely misleading; very little useful information is presented in the book. Most of the examples on the CD have errors and do not work. Size of the book is only an indication of how many trees were killed. If this book is any indication of the quality of Goldfarb series, I am not buying any other books from the Goldfarb series; these guys are only out to make money for themselves. Shame on the author and Charles Goldfarb. This author should be banned from writing any more books.

Summary: No details
Review: While XML By Example has a great introductory chapter for anyone new to XML, there is no substance to support this introduction. If you simply want an overview of what XML can do and some examples of systems that use XML, by all means purchase this book. If you want to learn XML, this book is a waste of time and money.

Summary: An example of disorganization
Review: You'll spend most of your time waiting for something to happen. There is essentially no connection between the CD-ROM and the text.
