Beginning XML

Beginning XML 4th Edition teaches students all they need to know about XML: what it is, how it works, what technologies surround it, and how it can best be used in a variety of situations, from simple data transfer to using XML in your web pages. It builds on the strengths of the previous editions, and provides new material to reflect the changes in the XML landscape, notably Ajax, REST, and microformats. This updated edition takes great care to tightly focus the examples to help the reader better see the effect of the XML and spend less time looking at long sections of code that are fun for the example, but add no practical learning value.
