This book explores the many facets of SGML that are of particular relevance to Software Engineers. It is, to date, the only existing publication that approaches SGML from the Software Engineering viewpoint. From the Back Cover
The first comprehensive SGML guide for software developers.
SGML is more than a document standard: it's a revolutionary way to manage all kinds of information. If you're a software developer, SGML will help you build information management applications of unprecedented depth and power. But leveraging SGML involves far more than understanding its terminology. You need to “think SGML.”
That's where ParseMe.1st comes in. It's the first developer's guide to both SGML's... read more The author, Sean Mc Grath (sean@digitome.com) , October 12, 1998
SGML first gave the world HTML and now XML
SGML - Standard Generalized Markup Language - is the internationally standardized markup language on which HTML and XML are based. HTML and XML are fundamentally different technologies. To understand why, you need to understand SGML. This book is aimed at Software Developers seeking a pragmatic, hands-on treatment of SGML. Learn how to program SGML applications in C++, Perl and Python. Learn all the powerful features built into SGML and implemented in freely available parsers such as NSGMLS.

Best practical intro to the details of SGML

As someone who makes a living dealing with SGML, I can't recommend this book highly enough for anyone who has to get into the details of the language. The SGML Handbook is the Bible, but it's rather short on examples (ahem). On the other hand, among books for acquiring serious SGML understanding on one's own, Parseme 1st has been, for me, the most useful by a mile. I think this is because it can be read either straight through, as a textbook, or in bits and pieces, as a reference. It's extremely well-organized, and any time you want a precise explanation of CONREF or marked sections but don't want to get distracted from the business at hand, there it is. On the minus side, the programming paradigms it presents predate some standards such as DOM and SAX that promise to dominate XML processing. But the ideas behind these are clearly present, DOM in the Python paradigm and SAX in the Perl. And don't worry that it's not an XML book: basic knowledge of XML _is_ SGML knowledge. If you read this book, even without the sections on programming, you'll be in a position to understand the strengths and limitations of XML very well. For me, this is an indispensable book.
