The book is well organized, starting at the fundamental classes and then branching out to the high abstraction level .NET classes and other Microsoft products such as SQL Server 2000 and Internet Explorer. As an example of why this book is so wonderful, there have been several situations where I needed to do something in XSLT that just didn't...

*THE* XML book for .NET

Dino Esposito has total, absolute command of the subject matter that he expertly teaches in this book. This is a template for how all technical training books should be written. I wanted in-depth coverage of the XML object library in .NET and that is exactly what this book delivers. This is THE book on XML in .NET. Don't waste your money on anything else. It is also terrific supplemental material for the Developing XML Web...

Unfortuatly my co-works are not taking the hint that they should buy their own copies.I can say the the specific stuff I've need to find has been in the book in very...

fundemental,indepth books in XML programming

At last I finished reading this book, and couldn't help writing a brief review for it: this book tells many fundemental skills you need to know regarding XML.

Many advanced topic are introduced, such as .Net Remoting, security, COM interoperability. But if you wanna...
