> Anybody have an opinion of Scott Means' "The Book of SAX" (No Starch
Press, 2002) or Nazmul Idris, "Java XML Programming" (Indpendent Pub. Grp,
2001)? Neither have been rated at Amazon.

him ever again?

Yes, it will be out this month, as a matter of fact. And it's so much
better, I just can't look at the first edition anymore. Seriously, I learned
so much writing v. 1, that I was able to actually apply it all to v.2 (which
by the way covers JDOM beta 7; no UnrealisticException thingy this time
around!). I highly recommend it, since I rewrote completely about 60% of the
book, and added 5 new chapters ;-)

As for my wife, that entirely depends on how many of you buy the book... she
wants a pool these days, so I need many of you to help ;-) (Just kidding
folks!)

> And when is Hunter & McLaughlin, "Learning JDOM" (O'Reilly) coming out???
Surely if they have enough time to read and  post to this list, they could
pump out a manual! ;-)

Actually, there is talk of that going on. Stay tuned.

Thanks
