This book is written at several different levels, from beginning to advanced. This is largely due to the nature of XML itself: Some topics can seem self-explanatory but warrant discussion, while others seem complex and obscure. The examples are written with both Visual Basic and C# developers in mind. Examples usually appear in one language or the other unless certain concepts warrant listing the code in both languages. Some sections, such as XSLT and XSD, are targeted for more advanced developers. Other sections assume little or no previous experience with XML, such as Chapters 1 and 2.
Because this book focuses on using XML with .NET, it assumes familiarity with the .NET Framework to at least a small degree. For example, language constructs can be used in various examples, but this book does not formally teach Visual Basic or C# syntax. Beginning readers should be able to read through this book and gain mastery of the presented concepts.
