After a thorough introduction to XML's place in the developer's toolkit and its syntax, Building XML Applications presents detailed coverage of parsers, a key tool for developers. Focusing on Java development, the sample applications use the Simple API for XML (SAX) to create parser-independent solutions that can fit in a wide variety of situations. Other XML tools, like style sheets, namespaces, linking, and the Document Object Model (DOM) are also explored, giving developers a friendly but approachable introduction to these revolutionary technologies." ======================================================================= Now published: Henning Behme, Stefan Mintert XML in der Praxis.

Contrary to the Macmillan blurb, we barely mention CDF. In fact, as lead author I've completely turned the book around. It is now a very practical explanation of how to *use* XML; convert it into other formats with Omnimark, Perl and Jade. How to use Microsoft's DSO, Islands of Data and ActiveX controls. It includes CSS and XSL and shows off Mozilla and IE5.
