Sams Teach Yourself XML
in 24 Hours
Complete Starter Kit
With CD
3RD Edition
Sams Teach Yourself XML in 24 Hours, Complete Starter Kit, Third Edition, provides a comprehensive introduction to the XML language. Unlike programming languages, understanding the syntax of XML is only a small part of the learning process; understanding how to apply XML is the larger part of the learning process. This book focuses on the big picture of XML while digging into specific examples of how to use it in real world applications. XML has been around for nearly fifteen years in the form of its predecessor, SGML. Now that Web developers have fully realized the limitations of HTML, which is itself a cousin of XML; they are looking for other options for representing and accessing data on a large scale. XML provides the data abstraction missing in HTML, and has become a general standard for data representation and manipulation, even beyond the immediate application to the Web. The main selling point of this book is the broad range of topics it covers in regard to the hands-on usage of XML. This book not only digs into the details of the eXtensible Markup Language, but also examines compelling applications that are based upon XML.
