XML by Example is intended for people with some basic HTML coding experience. If you can write a simple HTML page and if you know the main tags (such as <P>, <TITLE>, <H1>), you know enough HTML to understand this book. You don’t need to be an expert, however. Some advanced techniques introduced in the second half of the book (Chapter 7 and later) require experience with scripting and JavaScript. You need to understand loops, variables, functions, and objects for these chapters. Remember these are advanced techniques, so even if you are not yet a JavaScript wizard, you can pick up many valuable techniques in the book. This book is for you if one of the following statements is true: • You are an HTML whiz and want to move to the next level in Internet publishing.
• You publish a large or dynamic document base on the Web, on CDROM, in print, or by using a combination of these media, and you have heard XML can simplify your publishing efforts.
• You are a Web developer, so you know Java, JavaScript, or CGI inside out, and you have heard that XML is simple and enables you to do many cool things.
