[xsl] ANN: Essential XML Quick Reference (Addison Wesley) now available
Subject: [xsl] ANN: Essential XML Quick Reference (Addison Wesley) now available From: "Aaron Skonnard" <aarons@xxxxxxxxxxx> Date: Wed, 28 Nov 2001 11:27:34 -0700 |
Our new book, Essential XML Quick Reference, published by Addison Wesley is now available[1]. It covers today's mainstream XML technologies (see TOC below) in quick reference-style: syntax + concise examples. The form factor is slightly bigger than an O'Reilly pocket reference. We wrote this book as a companion to Essential XML (Addison Wesley)[2], which conveys the conceptual framework of XML technologies. As such, the quick reference avoids heavy prose and focuses on conveying syntax plus clear, concise examples. Each chapter starts with a few paragraphs that introduce the technology followed by pure quick reference content. The book comes with bleeding tabs, detailed TOCs, headers/footers, and a thorough index, all of which were designed to help you find answers fast. The TOC is as follows: 1. XML 1.0 and Namespaces 2. Document Type Definitions 3. XPath 1.0 4. XPointer, XInclude, XML Base 5. XSL Transformations 1.0 6. SAX 2.0 7. DOM Level 2 8. XML Schema Datatypes 9. XML Schema Structures 10. SOAP 1.1 Martin and I spend a great deal of our time teaching XML to developers. Over the years we realized that what our students need is a concise XML reference that summarizes all of the XML-related W3C specification rhetoric into one small, easy-to-understand, place. We hope that this book fills that need. You can see what others have to say about the quick reference below[3].

Something that definitely needs to be on every XML developer's desk!" --Alexander Falk, President and CEO of Altova, Inc., The XML Spy Company "I think it is a wonderfully clear and concise summary of a great deal of key XML material. I expect it to find a well-thumbed home on my bookshelf." --Mary Holstege, PhD, XML Architect, mathling.com, and W3C XML Schema Working Group Member "Finally, a complete and thorough reference book covering all of the most important XML technologies, including the latest addition (XML Schema), in one concise and consistent presentation. I will definitely have this book close at hand." --Chris Lovett, Product Unit Manager, B2B Web Services, Microsoft "Essential XML Quick Reference is one of the few printed references I would actually buy." --Don Box, Series Editor, The DevelopMentor Series XSL-List info and archive: http://www.mulberrytech.com/xsl/xsl-list
