Using today's conventional programs and processes, data may have to be translated and reformatted more than five times during data exchange and eCommerce. XML has the potential to speed up ebusiness applications and integration efforts, enabling the definition, transmission, validation, and interpretation of data.... Customer Reviews Reviewer: Michael Gorzka from Plant City, FL United States Especially if you're in the IT field or seeking to break into it (lots of interview fodder here). Most books start with the differences between XML and HTML, how to create a valid XML document, intro the DTD, etc. Simon explains why we need XML! In clear, concise, readable prose, the author explains XML's practical applications. He does an admirable job of conveying XML's importance in terms of ecommerce and B2B applications. Reviewer: A reader from Atlanta, GA If you are in business and IT, read this book. Go elsewhere to learn how to program XML. Read this to learn WHY you need to understand XML, its applications, its potential -- make a wise, informed business decision (and if you don't use it, be prepared to explain why not). Reviewer: George McGillicuty from Durham, NC Simon writes with a twinkle in his eye, as he explains the technical aspects of XML in business terms. His business focus provides a general understanding to both business people and college students. His large number of examples and metaphors will also prove useful for others who are trying to explain the amazing powerful of the XML technology. Reviewer: Scott Neitch from South Hills, Texas This is a good book for people and students who want an overview of XML. There are many, many examples of where businesses have used XML. And there are many examples of different XML vocabularies. Some XML books are technical with only a little big picture ovoerview. I like this book because it helped me understand and explain why someone would want to use XML. Highly Recommended. |
