I am happy to announce that the first edition of my first book, "XML Schema, The W3C's Object-Oriented Descriptions for XML" [1] should be available today in the bookstores, including Amazon [2], at least in the US (and yes, you have the opportunity to get the book before I can actually touch one!). You'll find plenty of information about the book online. O'Reilly has done a good job to summarize and I'd just like to add one more disclaimer. This book is not, surprise, surprise, the kind of book you will want to read to be comforted in the idea that W3C XML Schema is the nicest invention since sliced bread. I insist on this point since that's not that common: most of the people buy computer books when they start working with a new technique and expect that the book will comfort them in the idea that they've made "the right choice". Note that it's not either the kind of book you need to buy to get all the arguments against W3C XML Schema. It's just a book which tries to be honest and guide people through the false friends and pitfalls of the language to save their time, efforts and frustration. I guess that you wouldn't buy a travel book which wouldn't point out the areas which you'd better not visit alone at night... Why should it be different with computer books?
