最近在狂補 XML，真不是一般的頭痛，一個標准盛行的同時，衍生的問題通常也不在少數，對 XML 的操作可算是其中一個比較那個的問題，感覺很混亂，得花些時間搞明白它。我找到一本書（沒看之前可不敢說好不好）：《Essential XML Quick Reference》，下面是它的一些介紹：

Essential XML Quick Reference: A Programmer’s Reference to XML, XPath, XSLT, XML Schema, SOAP, and More

Addison-Wesley and Developmentor have provided TheServerSide.NET with the entire book of Essential XML Quick Reference for free download. Essential XML Quick Reference is for anyone working with today’s mainstream XML technologies. It was specifically designed to serve as a handy but thorough quick reference that answers the most common XML-related technical questions.It goes beyond the traditional pocket reference design by providing complete coverage of each topic along with plenty of meaningful examples. Each chapter provides a brief introduction, which is followed by the detailed reference information. This approach assumes the reader has a basic understanding of the given topic.The detailed outline (at the beginning), index (in the back), bleeding tabs (along the side), and the page headers/footers were designed to help readers quickly find answers to their questions.

不管這本書好不好，首先，能把這厚的東東貢獻出來本身就是件了不起的事，再說 Addison-Wesley 的出品應該還是有保證的，感謝 Aaron Skonnard/Martin Gudgin 和 Addison-Wesley，以及 TheServerSide.net。（點擊下圖下載）
