Since the release of XMLC 2.2.x, I was wondering if the book 'Enhydra XMLC
Java Presentation Development' by Young is still considered relevant and
up-to-date?
I would say it is up to date. Basic XMLC development strategies haven't
really changed. XMLC's implementation has simply changed to keep up with
the various environments and standards that it needs to support. Of
course, if you use Enhydra along with XMLC, the book will be even more
relevant since it walks you though an Enhydra application and,
coincidentally, Enhydra 5.1 was just released. However, one does not need
to use Enhydra to learn from David's book. Besides, you can't go wrong
with the deals you can get. Check out the prices at any of the top
Internet booksellers. Pretty affordable.
If not, where is a good place to start learning about how to work with
XMLC that is relatively up-to-date?
I think the book is the best place until someone gets around to writing
some updated docs. I would also check out the example applications that
come with the binary releases. They'll provide you with examples of Ant
builds, container deployment (Tomcat), how to use the new deferred parsing
and dynamic loading, and using XPath to query/manupulate nodes.
