An excellent book

Some people believe in pages, the more the better. I do not think so. With wealth of information on the Web, it is not hard to generate a thick book by cutting-and-pasting. But it requires hands-on experience, good judgement, thougthful evaluation, and careful selection to generate a book like this one. I like the concise and right-to-the point description, especially the UML diagrams, which make the points clearer.Moreoever, thick books with too many details can get out-of-date quicker because it is the details that obsolete quickly.Equipped with the basic concepts learned from this book, one can confidently surf the Web for more detailed and up-to-date informaion.I think this book worth every panny I paid.

A excellent book for C++ programmers that begin with XML

`C++ XML' does an excellent job addressing the specific (and difficult) issues associated with processing XML in C++.The first hurdle for a C++ programmer who wants to start using XML is to understand the big picture -- what has been done by whom and where. In the first two chapters, the author does an admirable job of providing this background information.The books then leads the reader through most of the concepts of this flourishing technology in chapters illustrated by accurately commented examples.I am a C++ programmer and an XML beginner. Having read the book, I had my first real purpose SAX parser running in three days. Incidently I learnt more deeply about XML in this book than in any general purpose XML book although, as the author stresses, this is not the initial purpose of C++ XML.

great book for developers - pure C++ XML heaven!

This is a great book for C++ developers working with XML.Covers SAX 2.0, DOM 2.0 and other parsers (libxml for Linux).I loved the discussion about XML-RPC and SOAP. This book will probably become THE classic for how to write C++ XML code!My only complaint is chapter 11 on XSLT transforms is not sufficient. The author has a very readable writing style. This book finally helped me understand one of the most confusing API's, the XSD and XML schema.

Great! not an introduction

This book is great if you understand the basics of XML and really want C++ coverage. If you are looking for introductory stuff this is not your book and you might get confused, but if you want a serious and concise work on C++ and XML this is a MUST HAVE.Great work, much needed on a sea of introductory xml books. Thank you.

Outstanding!

I felt compelled to write a review for this book: It is extremely clear, concise, and illuminating. Many programming books (especially those on XML) seem to repeating the same hype that you find all over the Internet. Fabio Arciniegas cuts through this and tells you what you really need to know to about the various XML librarys available for C++. He shows you how and why they work, how to use them, and gives excellent advice on *when* to use one approach over another. For example, he gives objective discussions of SOAP vs XML-RPC, and of XML Schema vs other alternatives. In addition, his presentation makes use of familiar design patterns, and he clearly explains why the patterns were used. A wonderful bonus is the chapter on using XML to add an extension language to your programs. You get more than your money's worth with this one.
