This author is a loser 
No address was given to write directly to the author so this my best way to say I would not buy another book by the author. Look I just purchased the book "Web Page Collection" by this author, it is "Visual Quick Project" Nothing works, the links given do not work, the instructions are NOT correct and the book is a waste.
mostly syntax and little semantics 
After the 1st few chapters the book becomes very repeative in it's approach. The author spends almost the entire book typing out the syntax of the various statements and seems to lack in conveying an over all structure or framework in which to better understand XML. .
Good insight into WWW usage for XML.
This book not only showed me how XML might be used, it contains information on XSLT and CSS as well. I have written an industrial strenght XML processor (parser, navigator, constructor), but I wondered just how it would apply to the WWW and webpages in particular. There is virtually no techo guff (I write enough of that myself) and plenty of practical examples. Use this book if you want to use XML in a Web-context. It will be more helpful than just about anything else I've read.
