This is the first computer book I purchased since college days for I was relying on downloaded e-books, various online reference materials and <a href=\"http:\/\/www.google.com\" target=\"_blank\">Google<\/a> for more than five years already.  But the book for its price is something I find so hard to resist.  Located in between another XML book worth P<font face=\"Verdana, Tahoma, Arial\">2335.00<\/font> and an HTML related book for P<font face=\"Verdana, Tahoma, Arial\">1240<\/font>, the said book is only P<font face=\"Verdana, Tahoma, Arial\">175<\/font>.  <\/p>\n<p>I have to blink my eyes a couple more times to check if there&#8217;s damage, a typo or a blot in the price tag.  I was calling out Evoschuke&#8217;s name while I was in the counter hoping that the price will remain that way even after the swipe.  Evoschuke is the goddess of barcodes, price tags and red lasers by the way.<\/p>\n<p>Two CDs, which include <font face=\"Verdana, Tahoma, Arial\">170<\/font>+ XML tools and stuff, are even included in the book.<\/p>\n<p>Europa, the next version of Visual Foxpro, promises a better support for XML.  The demand for XML support even exceeded expectations for a better and improved Report Designer.  This, and other countless things, makes XML a good thing to tinker, exploit and abuse.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>This afternoon, I purchased a copy of Charles GoldFarb and Paul Prescod&#8217;s XML Hand Book, Third Edition (You can find a newer fifth edition at Amazon.com).
