Which is the best book to learn and understand XQuery for a beginner like me? Please note, I understand other XML technologies.
It would be really good if the book gives reasoning behind decisions. Strengths and weaknesses of XQuery. When to use and when not to use XQuery?
I have XQuery from the Experts, but I'm not sure if it is easy reading. I think XQuery is pretty complicated so there might not be an easy read on the subject.
The folks at W3Schools have some pretty good tutorials and resources for a variety of web technologies, you may want to start with their XQuery tutorial. That may give you a better understanding with which to evaluate what book suites your needs and learning style.
