Targeted Perfectly for ASP.NET Developers, March 21, 2002
Reviewer: donkiely from Fairbanks, Alaska USA
This is easily the best book for working with XML in ASP.NET, devoted to the subject. The examples are all in C#, but that doesn't really matter. When I needed C# I could copy the code directly; when I needed VB.NET it was easy to convert. This is a well-written, easy to follow book that covers the most important parts of a complex subject, and has lots of good samples to follow. Other XML for .NET books are better for an overall survey of the subject, but the nice thing about Wahlin's book is that it has the gist of XML for ASP.NET programmers. Highly recommended.
