Professional ASP XML

This has been the best book I've read this year! It was very hard to put down, and I found myself constantly looking at everything thinking, "Would XML help me here?" The chapters were laid out very well, and the examples were great. I was quiet surprised to see that most of these worked on about any browser. I highly recommend this one!

I thought I better add my voice to the others who have given their praises for this great work. I had actually been looking all over for a book with this exact subject and finally found it (thanks Wrox). Personally, I am so busy with work and family that I haven't had time to sit down and do a thorough reading, but every chapter I have gone through (most of them) have been great!!! I have been working with ASP for a while, but the opportunity for a project (it seems like it is just for fun) has come up where my boss wanted me to create a survey building tool with ASP and XML - this has been my lifesaver as I have worked with XML, but not too much on the development side. So I was familiar, but didn't have any in-depth knowledge. (Note: Ironically, there was even a case study for an on-line survey (similar to what I have been asked to do).) The reading is easy, but don't mistake that for this book being simplistic. It isn't! It is for "professionals" who are looking to enhance and polish their skills with other technologies. If you're a newby to web development, and want to learn ASP, check out SAMS "Teach Yourself Active Server Pages 3.0" by Scott Mitchell - he's the man from 4GuysFromRolla.com and does an excellent job. If you're new to XML - check out either Wrox's "Beginning XML" or Que's "XML By Example" You shouldn't go wrong with either of these.Again, this book has been WORTH EVERY PENNY and I believe later will yeild an even higher return from my investment in it as I develop my skills with XML and ASP even more. Buy this book - you won't regret it.

The chapters are laid out properly and are easy to understand. It helped us to learn a great deal about incorporating XML into ASP.We recommend this book to anyone who wants to further expand their knowledge of XML in ASP.The authors did a really good job on explaing XML for ASP developers.The depth explainations of the case studies & examples and XML are really great and relate to real world examples.The chapter explaining about the SOAP is really good which helped us a lot personally to implement an in my current project . We personally thank Dinar Dalvi for his help and support to answer our questions and immediate feedback for our emails.

If you are working on an ASP based project using XML this is possibly the best book currently available. One of things that makes it unqiue is that is shows specific examples of using objects and methods that incorporate the XML Document Object Model using server side scripting techniques (MSXML.DLL). Most XML books currently available provide information on client side data binding. Not very useful for enterprise development projects. This book in addition to "ASP Databases" will solve all your questions dealing with ASP, ADO, and XML integration.

This book is great! The chapters are laid out properly and are easy to understand. It helped me learn a great deal about incorporating XML into our ASP based web. I recommend this book to anyone who wants to further expand their knowledge of XML. XML is the future, and this book will take you there!
