XML Programming (Core Reference) [With CDROM]

I don't know what the reviewer from San Jose was thinking, but I believe that Brad Leupen, et al have written a great book on XML programming for newcomers. I bought this book with almost no understanding of XML and so the "basic basics" of XML were great for me. I come from a database background and have very little experience with web programming. XML Programming has taken me from supernewbie to XML Programmer very quickly. The book was easy to read, clear and concise.I highly recommend this book to anyone who wants to learn XML.
