Apress Pro .NET 2.0 XML

XML is the de facto language for communication within and between distributed applications, whether they're on the Internet or a corporate network. XML is successful because of two strengths: it has a highly-structured human readable format and it can be transmitted as pure text. No matter how disparate applications and their architectures may be, text files can always be read, and therefore can accept XML data. This makes XML-based solutions advantageous over rival technologies like remoting.

Pro .NET 2.0 XML is the first book to provide a complete solution to XML on the .NET Framework 2.0 including the new .NET 3.0 extensions that are being released in January 2007. It provides you with everything you need to know to take advantage of XML in every aspect of your job—including integration with Windows Communication Foundation.

- This will be the most complete book on .NET 2.0 XML available. It covers everything you need to use XML effectively.
