I am one of the coauthors of this book. I feel compelled to write a review in support of my friend and coauthor, Simon St. Laurent, who wrote the section on XML Schema. Of the 160 pages of text in XML Pocket Reference, Third Edition, 71 pages are dedicated to XML Schema. That's 44 percent of the book. Of the 71 pages, 16 pages cover examples of XML Schema. DTDs are covered in 15 pages, RELAX ...

5 Stars for content, -1 Star for quality of code
Not recommended for MCSD or MCAD 70-310 exam preparation! Conceptually, the book covers all of the bases that an aspiring XML developer would require, including somewhat thorough concept, explanation, example, and summary investigations. Where the book greatly lacks is the code samples; many will not run, and multiple programming languages are introduced. Don't buy this book for study.

You've got a friend in the transformation business
Doug Tidwell knows his stuff, loves his stuff, and is eager to share his stuff with you.

If you're reading this, you probably already know that transformations are the means by which xml files can be converted from one format to another and ...

Great reference with examples
Finally, a book I have been looking for; a readable reference with solid examples. Does a great job on the namespaces it covers. Looking forward to similiar books to cover additional namespaces. This is not a tutorial. Gets straight to the point and provides you with the information you need to use a class and its associated methods and properties. Provides just enough background to provide ...

On my way to my MCSE 2003!
I used this book along with some hands-on experience with Windows 2003 and was able to pass the test after about two weeks. This rating is based solely on the book material, as I did not use the DVD.

ASP.NET 1.0 - The Not Quite Complete Namespace Reference
Well, I got this book about three days ago, and it's pretty nice. It's very thick, and there is a lot of very good information in it. It covers a wide range of System.Web namespaces, and goes into some of the System.Data namespace, but it neglects something as important as the System.Web.Mail namespace. I guess it's hard to include everything in one book, but something are more important than ...
