Product Description

Book Description

XML -- the new standard for creating interactive, cutting-edge Internet content -- promises to be an excellent bridge between differing technologies that are crowding for online attention. XML, which stands for eXtensible Markup Language, combines the dynamic power of SGML with the networking strengths of HTML in one new package that's compatible with a variety of programming languages, Web data formats, and Internet protocols. In short, it's the greatest invention since pizza.

Cut to the heart of XML's robust tools and open standards with XML For Dummies Quick Reference, simply the best and most effective one-volume guide to XML. Here, you discover all the tips and tricks you need to create your own markup language that works any time, anywhere, on the Web. Get fast answers on what you need to know, when you need to know it, with XML For Dummies Quick Reference. Plus, the book's compact, alphabetical design and lay-flat binding make it the perfect desktop companion.

3.0 out of 5 stars Good for reference, bad for trying to learn, May 30 2003
By 
Lon Dee (Northern Utah, Near the Lake, USA) - See all my reviews
This review is from: XML For Dummies Quick Reference (Paperback)
This is entitled "Quick Reference" for a reason - it's just a reference. Don't try to use this to learn XML from scratch. It's not bad as a reference, but not superb either. I wouldn't highly recommend it, but if you need something that's inexpensive, small, and covers the basics, this would work for you.

5.0 out of 5 stars It's great to have around!, Dec 3 2000
By A Customer
This review is from: XML For Dummies Quick Reference (Paperback)
I disagree: this book is very useful. Of course, I have several, more comprehensive XML references, but this is a lightweight companion to the heavier books, and I use it all the time to look things up quickly. Unless you've completely memorized XML (have you?), it can be very convenient. It's like an abridged dictionary.

3.0 out of 5 stars Hard to Follow, Sep 18 2000
By 
Jonathan S. Mark "marjo_wycam" (Alexandria, VA USA) - See all my reviews
(REAL NAME)   
This review is from: XML For Dummies Quick Reference (Paperback)
I like the price, but this book is really only good for looking up things that you already understand. I certainly was not able to understand what an XML entity is from this book.
