Customer Rating:  
Summary: fast reading book
Comment: I usually read just to get a big picture. I thought this did the job. Dummies Books are a lot more palatable than other books on topics as dry as this.
Customer Rating:
Summary: Great Book

Summary: Reviews Are About A Different Edition of XML For Dummies
Comment: These reviews are all very misleading as they refer to a previous edition of the book which is no longer available, the third edition of XML For Dummies. XML For Dummies, 4th edition, the book featured here, addresses many of the concerns raised in the reviews of the third edition.
Customer Rating:
Summary: Just flat out wrong sometimes
Comment: As a complete newbie to XML this was a good starter. As I got deeper into XML I found several mistakes/deficiencies in the book, and sometimes the author just flat out seemed to not know what he was talking about. For instance, the claim on page 86 that (#CDATA) is a valid DTD element content definition is flat out wrong. His description of Schema element declarations (pp. 114-115) teaches that using globals/refs is the only way to define complex elements, and is inappropriate for his example. He makes no mention of globals at all, leaving the reader confused. I have ceased to trust this book as a valid source of XML information.
Customer Rating:
Summary: For real dummies
Comment: If you want to kill your time without learning anything, this book is absolute right for you.
