Library Journal Review
This is such a beginner's book that webmaster Simpson (coauthor of HTML for Fun and Profit) doesn't even expect the reader to understand HTML, although he acknowledges that a familiarity with HTML will obviously help in understanding XML. Simpson uses B movies as his model and slowly develops what he calls FlixML, his mark-up language, to communicate information about B movies. This is an excellent teaching model to use since most of us have seenÄand probably lovedÄmovies such as The Creature from the Black Lagoon. Simpson covers the basics, XML tools for hyperlinking, how style sheets work with XML, creating your own XML application, and where XML might be going. (c) Copyright 2010.
