As a temporary developer for Stanford I am finding about the joys and perils on online research. Though most of my time is spent at a computer researching solutions for problems as I find them, I have (against the advice of the 2 programmers I spent most of my time with) started to read through this book. It is weighty, but the mere act reading a book fills me with a more solid surety in my ability than information gleaned from anonymous forums and user sites. It also works as a nice anti-RSI laptop-stand. :-D. -- To err is human--and to blame it on a computer is even more so. - Robert Orben
This book is aimed at an intermediate/advanced level programmer who wants to get into java XML libraries. It's a practical guide by example. I found it useful, especially the chapter on JDOM, and the quick introduction chapter to web applications using XML--I would have liked that chapter to be expanded a bit more. The tools they mention throughout the book to help deal with XML were also extremely useful.
Avevo preso questo libro perché speravo mi desse qualche dritta in più su come usare XML in pratica, ma all'atto pratico mi sono accorto che si limitava a fare vedere come usare le API dei vari sistemi come SAX, DOM o JDOM. Tanto valeva prendersi i manuali online, allora :-(
I was the editor for this book, not the author. But Brett did an excellent job. This edition is out of date; if you're interested in XML and Java, get the third edition.
Este libro lo usé hace ya bastante tiempo. Explica los conceptos básicos de XML y el procesamiento de dicho formato con el lenguaje de Programación Java. Recomendado para programadores novatos.
