XML Weekend Crash Course
Co-authored by Kay Whatley (Ethier)
We have to admit that we are biased on this one. Our XML instructors really wrote the book on XML! See Amazon.com, FatBrain.com, and other online book sites for XML Weekend Crash Course. It is also in stock in many Borders and B&N bookstores.
The XML Weekend Crash Course is published by Hungry Minds (formerly IDG Books, now a division of Wiley). If you have a copy of this book and would like the errata, click here to go to the book's Web page at Wiley.
Note: In February 2002 this book won a "Distinguished" award for technical writing from the STC Pittsburgh Chapter. This is the highest award available in STC chapter competitions! Way to go, Alan and Kay!
Please do note that the book is titled differently throughout the world. Some of the known titles are shown at left.
