This book is likely to be very big because of the Microsoft connection - MS Office is ubiquitous throughout the world of IT, and many companies want to be able to easily port their data from Office files to web interfaces. Microsoft is also very keen to get in on the Rich Internet Applications craze that Flash is such a big part of. In this book, Sas Jacobs first takes the reader through just the information they need to know about XML itself, and no more - what it is, it's syntax, it's associated technologies (such as CSS and XSLT, ) and how to get XML out of your applications in a format Flash can use.
