Hi All,
I passed the IBM XML exam with 92% yesterday (got 51 out of 55 questions right). Thanks to Javaranch site, particularly the links and mock tests pages. I read Prof XML, prof XML schemas and XSLT (all the recommended books of IBM) and also read Skonnard (which is very good). I also read some articles from developerworks and xml.com.
Thanks javaranch oncegain.
bye for now.

"r raj",
First - Congrats!
Second, would you please think about changing your display name? JavaRanch policy asks that you use a first name and a last name.

Hi Archana,
It took me 2 months of devoted study (including a week holiday). And that is something I don't want to do again for some time! I had no know knowledge of XML when I started. I read Prof XML first (left many chapters out) and then read Prof XML Schemas (first 9 chapters) and XLST(first 8 chapters). All this took about 5 weeks. Then I revised them again and in the last week had a look at Skonnard along with various articles.

Skonnard is the Essential XML Book by Skonnard - an absolute reference gem for XML - it is brief and comprehensive. More tempting - it is a free download from develop.com.
