The book doesn't claim to be an application development guide, nor is it a database API reference. The world of open source software is changing very rapidly, too, so rather than write about items that would soon be out of date, I tried to focus on techniques and strategies. It's a very broad field, and this is an interdisciplinary book, talking about document management as well as about delivering relational information as XML. It doesn't cover XSLT, nor libxml, but in 432 pages I couldn't have done justice to XSLT, and there have been two released of libxml since publication. So instead, you'll find out about using SAX from C and Perl, and learn enough XML, SQL and network programming to get by, and maybe have some fun along the way.
