Show you how to apply XML in various scenarios. All scenarios are made simple with very good example. Obviously this is a not a reference book for the technologies mentioned. But to start up with those XML technologies mentioned this one is great book. You will able to quickly go through all chapters. I started with the free chapters available in their web site and decide to try other chapters. Obviously this not expert's voice but a very good beginners tutorials with excellent example. Again I liked their examples a lot as it is easier to understand. Note - It is not like Wrox books usually with too verbose in theory or too complex examples
