Professional XML for .NET Developers

THIS MONTH'S BOOK DRAWING:

Excerpt from book review by Peter Bromberg:

Professional XML for .NET Developers by Kevin Williams, Dinar Dalvi, John Slater, Darshan Singh, Francis Norton, Andy Olsen, Bipin Joshi, Fredrik Normén, Joseph Alan Gray and J. Michael Palermo IV is a comprehensive look at reading and writing XML, DOM navigation and XSL transformations, validating and serializing XML, MSXML vs System.Xml, ADO.NET and ASP.NET XML support, Web Services and SOAP, Remoting, XML code documentation and more.

Once again, the proven Wrox formula of assembling a cadre of six to ten professionals to collaborate on a single volume "delivers the goods", both in quality and quantity.

As most programmers are by now aware, XML is so tightly integrated into the .NET Platform that it has become mandatory for the professional developer to have a good working understanding of XML and XSLT at a minimum. While much of the XML employed in the .NET platform is "behind the scenes plumbing" such as with SOAP Webservices and configuration files, .NET has a rich set of base classes to allow for the use and manipulation of XML and its derivatives. Microsoft has placed a heavy emphasis on the quality, extensibility, and processing speed of the XML - related classes in .NET, as well as on standards compliance.
