Recommend a good XML book?

I am looking for a good XML book.
I found 'Building Oracle XML Applications' by Steve Muench at AMAZON, but its dated SEP 2000, and for Oracle 8i.
I'm using 9i...will this matter?
Suggestions please...
Thanks

you can still get by with it and it is worth buying although it does need upgrading to 9i.
I have managed to produce XML files from it though and applied stylesheets to them so I would recommend it.

Can anyone recommend a good instruction book for intermediate Mac users?

I have been using Mac for 3 years now so am not a total beginner, but still need help in many areas of OS X use. These forums are brilliant and thanks to the willing help from more expert members I have learnt a lot ( thank you), however there are times when just having a book open in front of you is the easiest way to get to grips with something. Can anyone recommend a good user manual for people like me who don't need a real beginners guide but also don't want a mind numbing, in depth, advanced text. I already have Maria Langers Visual Quickstart Guide which is useful but is exactly what it says, a quick start, and David Pogues Missing Manual which I find a little frustrating as he seems to fall short of explaining exactly how to do something after he says it can be done!
I guess what I am really after is a clearly written book that is good for beginners and more advanced users alike, with screen shots to show you what you should be doing.
Grateful for any suggestions.
macbook white 2ghz Mac OS X (10.4.6) 512mb ram and 60gig hard drive,

Hi again,
Many thanks for the feedback and the star!
For troubleshooting, Dr Smoke's Troubleshooting Mac OS X eBook is invaluable. Again, I have the Panther edition. I haven't, yet, felt the need for the Tiger edition with so many of the tips available free via his FAQs.
The only drawback, of course, is that when one is in a fix and possibly unable to boot up, the e-book isn't accessible unless one has a copy on another Mac.
Have fun,
Adrian

Recommend any good flash books...

Hi,
I want to learn how to connect flash CS3 to databases/dynamic
information etc....Can anyone recommend any good books. I just
bought Flash and PHP Bible but don't think much of it (it keeps
referring to a companion website that doesn't exist - the book only
came out this month). I want to learn how to connect databases with
flash, get dynamic content and things like that. Have any of you
guys used such a book that you thought was great?
Cheers...
Ben.

There are a lot of good online tutorials and such. If you
really want to do
it right, learn to use AMFPHP, a remoting gateway for PHP.
It'll make your
life much easier if you do any fair amount of database work
with Flash. I
still use LoadVars for simple forms and such, but for
anything bigger I use
AMFPHP / remoting.

Can anybody recommend any good ejb book?

Hi,
I am looking for good ejb books, can anybody recommend any, please?
I would like to have a good book to start with and then another book which could compliment the basics.

A lot of effort went into the on-line review of "Mastering EJB 2" by Ed Roman et. al. at www.theserverside.com. The Server Side participants constantly reviewed the book while it was being written! I think it is the best book on EJBs, but don't take my word for it: check it out. You can download the book in non-printable PDF format from www.theserverside.com under the Resources tab. You'll have to sign up (for free) to download the book.

Another newbie question (sorry)---Please recommend a good training book?

And where to order?
Thanks.

All these books are great - and I've read them all and done the exercises. But I have to put in my 2 cents and recommend Larry Jordan's book and web site. The book is well written and understandable. His web site is full of great tips, and his free monthly e-mail newsletter is great. Now, he has a new newsletter called Edit Well published in conjunction with Peachpit Press.
Details on all this at: http://www.larryjordan.biz/
Good Luck! And welcome to Final Cut!

Can anyone recommend a good J2ME book?

Hi folks
I'm on the look out for a good book on J2ME. I'd like to know what books you guys have bought and which ones you think is worth buying. I'm considerig purchasing Wireless Java Programming with J2ME by Yu Feng and Dr Jun Zhu. Is this a good book on J2ME or are there better ones? Thanks for your advice.

Hi
Thanks for the good advice guys. It looks like Jonathan Knudsen's "Wireless Java: Developing with J2ME" is one of the best books around. I'll probably buy that one or this one that seems to be quite good. The book is called "J2ME In A Nutshell" by Kim Topley:
http://www.amazon.co.uk/exec/obidos/ASIN/059600253X/qid=1064919774/sr=1-1/ref=sr_1_3_1/202-0023835-2590247
What do you guys think about this book?

Can someone recommend a good SQL book

I'm looking for a book that starts at the beginner/intermediate level and goes all the way to very advanced stuff, the whole nine yards. Anyone?

Oracle 8i (9i) Complete Reference. It's pretty simple, easy to read, and provides simple example to get you to understand the syntax....some SQL are Oracle specific..but I don't think there is a generic SQL tutorial book (it will use some vendor SQl language)..however, afeter learing ONE SQL..it's simple to learn another (they're actually almost the same..if they complied to the Ansi SQl standard????).

RECOMMEND a good J2EE book

Hi
I need a J2EE book that explains well about deploytool GUI and also some other miscellanous stuffs like EJB, servlet, jsp ....
I bought wrox JSP j2ee edition but find it inadequate as it never cover deploytool which is a common tool which we used to deploy our j2ee and i find it hard to learn from it.
Thanks

Hi,
I think I have the same book and it's ok. Have you tried other forums for advice? Enterprise JavaBeans or the J2EE forum might be a bit more helpful.
I think the new version of J2EE is coming out this year some time. You might be better to wait until that is released and save money.
Hope this helps,
moni

Recommend Oracle XML Book?

Can anyone recommend an good Oracle XML book. I've checked out "Oracle XML Applications" by O'Reily and have heard good things about it. But it's 3 1/2 years old and doesn't discuss Oracle 9i features and no mention of XML Schema (didn't exist at that point I guess).
Thanks for any advice!!!

Hi,
Some of the books which provide good information about Oracle and XML (with a small description) are present at the following links:
1.http://www.xml-book.com/xml-and-oracle-books.html
'Building Oracle XML Applications' by Steve Muench is a good one
Huge documentation is present free on OTN at the following link:
1. http://otn.oracle.com/docs/products/oracle9i/doc_library/release2/nav/docindex.htm#index-XML
Have a look at them. Various basic to advance samples are also present on OTN on XML at
1. http://otn.oracle.com/sample_code/tech/xml/xmldb/content.html
2. http://otn.oracle.com/sample_code/tech/xml/content.html
Check them.

Can anyone recommend any good books on leaning actionscript for flash?

Can anyone recommend any good books on leaning actionscript
for flash?
Intermediate level
I have been using flash for about 2 years more as a hobby
than anything else, some websites etc but now I realise I am going
to need to learn more actionscripting to do what I want, I have
come to terms with the simple stuff like goto – basic
variables – load mov – enough to programme up website
navigation.
I ideally want to learn more about the dynamic side of flash,
mostly for designing user interfaces and websites etc
I’m after a book that doesn’t get too heavy too
fast yet I’m a little past the more basic functions
Any thoughts?
Cheers

Anyone recommend a good user level reference book?

I just bought my first Mac ( 20 inch Intel iMac) and need a good reference book that covers OS X from a users standpoint (as opposed to a programmer's reference). It would be great if it also covered iLife, pre-installed utilities, etc. I'm an experienced computer user (from the Windows side of the world) and am looking for a reference book to help me make the transition to the Mac and OS X. I look forward to the day when I can take the last of my Windows computers to the recycling center, and work in a pure Mac environment.
iMac G5 (Intel) Mac OS X (10.4.5)

Please recommend a best practices book

Can someone recommend a core java best practices book.
I have read several books and yet when someone says use a tagging interface... I just look at them and wonder what they are talking about.. then I google and find out.. There may be several such terms that I am not aware of... How do I learn about these terms like POJOs etc.. People keep using words like POJOs and then I find out its nothing but a java class object.. but how do I know that?
Someone once said "You know only 5%, 20% you know you dont know, 75% you dont even know that you dont know".. Which book can give me that 75% ?
I know basic datastructures etc.. but when to apply what is what I want to learn.
A book which talks about when to use which datastructure, good usage of interface examples, and best practices that are used in real application production environment. Can someone please recommend a good book like that ? Is there any ? Real cases?

Maybe this should be a different thread but how do
programmers organize folders for projects?
Every company has a common java classes shared by
programmers I presume? That must be located in a
central access place and I am curious how they
organize folders?Folders? Maybe. Version control system, with a "commons" tree? Better.
Have a look at Matt Raible's AppFuse. It's a fine example organization for a project.
As for me, I do something like this:
I build with Ant: http://ant.apache.org
/source is the directory where anything I check out of version control will go.
Under that:
/java - .java source files.
/lib - 3rd party JARs (e.g., JDBC drivers, etc.)
/jsp - JSPs
/etc - deployment descriptors, like web.xml, etc.
/xml - XML files
/xsl - XSL stylesheets
/html - HTML files
/css - cascading stylesheets
/sql - SQL scripts for creating, altering, populating relational tables.

Whats a good JAVA book?

What do you think is a good Java book for someone who has a little expericne with java? I have experience in COBOL and a little touch of C, and Visual Basic? Any suggestions?
Thanks
Justin

I would suggest Java: an Introduction to Computer Science and Programming by Walter Savitch. This book assumes that the reader has no programming experience and it's aimed at students. I realize that you do have experience with COBOL, but I would recommend this one over the Core Java series to start out. Core Java volumes 1 and 2 are not good as an introduction for someone coming from a non-object oriented language. They would be a lot better for someone migrating from C++. They frequently refer to C++ and VB in their examples. They are excellent books, but better as a reference than an initial learning source.
