"This nuts-and-bolts guide shows you the power of XML by presenting an enterprise application problem that you'll design a program to solve throughout the book. Each chapter takes one part of the featured project and leads you through the design of its solution. The team of experienced authors gradually walks you through sections of increasing depth, each one developing a more advanced treatment of XML than the previous." "This book is for programmers new to XML who want to grasp the concepts of XML markup and understand the diversity of its potential uses."--Jacket Offering a unique approach to learning XML, this book walks readers through the process of building a complete, functional, end-to-end XML solution.
