A light-weight approach to a often heavy-handed topic - this is one of the best 'pocket' books I've read! This pocket reference provides an overview of XML, DTD, XSLT, XLink and XPointer in a relativly easy to follow style. I will admit, I needed to read this book a couple of times before 'getting it'. But with only 102 pages, it was easy enough to do! I think that's how this book succeeds where other XML primers fail - this book provides concise information without a lot of overhead, and really explains XML and what you can do with it. This was the best $10 of knowledge I've ever invested in!
