This unique digital bookshelf provides a nice collection of seven essential XML books that contain over 3,000 pages of very useful information about various XML applications. The package contains both an electronic and print versions of XML in a Nutshell (2nd), as well as the electronic versions of XSLT, XML Schema, SAX2,
Java & XML (2nd), Java & XSLT, and Perl & XML. The first four books deal with pure XML matters while the three remaining concentrate on the practical use of XML with two different programming languages, namely Java and Perl.
The bundled companion CD-ROM offers a convenient access to all seven books as extensively hyperlinked HTML pages (no PDF versions!!) that can be viewed with your favorite browser. If you don't feel like reading on your screen, you may print out the electronic versions. You can also benefit from a powerful search engine to rapidly search for specific topics contained in the different books. All individual indexes are centralized within a master index, thus facilitating keyword searching across all the books.
This bookshelf is a very good resource for both expert and "wanna-be" XML developers. The former may start with XML in a Nutshell to get a grasp at XML, while the latter may jump on more advanced and specific topics like XSLT or XML Schema.
