When i read the author listing and their occupations, after i had purchased this book ... i was a bit furious at myself, as if i had wasted money in quenching my thirst for this new language based on XML. Unlikely, the book is very well authored and gives references to vendors and tools that provide hands on experience of this new language and makes it rather less formidable for a person trying to grasp the specs (which are already numerous enough to confuse you when you look into XML technology). In short, provides considerable in depth to serve the purpose of deciding to go this way or not ... at the same time it demonstrates and teaches the language (as minimum and limited as it is currently) in a exemplary way, so in my opinion it strikes a good balance between the theory and examples it provides. Infact focuses more on examples and practicality, if you are really interetsed in using this language somewhere down the road i would advise to get this book than rather scratch your head over its specs a W3C for long periods of time.
