Instead of jumping right into the instructions, this book will provide you first with all the necessary concepts that you need to learn in order to make the learning process a whole lot easier.
This way, you're sure not to get lost in confusion once you get to the more complex lessons provided in the latter chapters. Sample codes are provided. You will also learn the designs and forms of XML, and what's more convenient than getting to know both sides?!
I was looking for information about how to access an XML document. I'm trying to get coordinate information about features in a .kml file fo the different elements that are described. This book did not do anything to help me.
As one looking to understand what XML is and how I might use it, I found this book as an outstanding resource. Clear topics that are explained with examples. I recommend this book.
