A tutorial and reference for SAX, the Simple API for XML.
The Book of SAX includes everything XML and Java developers need to write SAX applications. Specific examples show how to use SAX to solve XML parsing probles that are impractical to address with tree-based technologies--including real-time parsing, very large documents, and high-performance applications. The authors guide readers through the development of picoSAX, a functioning 2.0 XML parser

Scott and his team members develop samples and articles on XML Web Services covering the coding as well as the architectural issues developers encounter. Softcover.

The title of HTML & Web Design is somewhat misleading, as the bulk of the book focuses more on advanced technologies such as Java, PHP, ASP, and XHTML. Although the first three chapters do cover HTML basics, tables, and forms, beginning designers will be better served by Virtual Classroom, owing to its clear, in-depth coverage of HTML. The video lessons on the CD-ROM are a fantastic addition, building on concepts introduced in the text and providing an alternative learning method for auditory learners. Recommended for all libraries; larger libraries might consider HTML & Web Design as well.

This book is designed to teach anyone working in data-intensive publishing how XML can be leveraged to make the job of presenting data easier. While the XML discussions within the book are general, FrameMaker is used for all of the examples since it supports a wide variety of XML import and export options. In addition, author Kay Ethier shows you how FrameMaker's powerful formatting features lend themselves to publishing XML documentswithout reworking them.
This book is written for a professional audience, including writers, database administrators, developers, and production staff. Ethier shows you how to:

• Capture or emit XML from existing documents or databases;
  
• Use XML to create documents that may be published to many other formats;
  
• Build an “XML round-trip” for Adobe FrameMaker 7.

You save time and money while preparing yourself for the next generation of Microsoft's server operating system!

If you're seeking ways to build network-based applications or XML-based web services, Microsoft provides most of the tools you'll need. XML is integrated into the .NET Framework and Visual Studio .NET, but if you want to get a grasp on how .NET and XML actually work together, that's a different story.

The third edition of Sams Teach Yourself XML in 24 Hours, Complete Starter Kit is everything you need to know about the XML language and how to use it in practical, innovative applications. Understanding the syntax of XML is only a small part of the learning process; understanding how to apply it is the larger part of the learning process, and is the primary focus of this book. It covers a broad range of topics, and wil show you how to use XML to mine data on the web, how to use it to interact with existing data services such as iTunes and Google, and how to use it in applications such as e-books, online speech synthesis, and multimedia. Sams Teach Yourself XML in 24 Hours, Complete Starter Kit, Third Edition will teach you what you need to know to get up and running with XML and more importantly, how to do cool things with it!

XML is one of the cornerstones of the .NET Framework. .NET aims to bridge the gap between desktop applications and online applications, and facilitate the communication of objects between the two. XML .NET Developer’s Guide will show you how to develop XML documents and applications for use within the .NET Framework.
1. Review the .NET Framework. Learn about the Common Language Runtime, .NET Security Services, Metadata, and System Services.
2. Learn the Components of Visual Studio.NET. Find coverage of the most useful features of VS.NET, including Server Explorer, Properties Explorer, Task List Explorer, IntelliSense, and more.
3. Build Well-Formed XML Documents. Learn the components of XML documents, and see how to transform XML through Extensible Stylesheet Language Transformation (XSLT).
4. Learn the Different XML DOM Levels. Understand how the multiple levels: DOM Level 1 Core, DOM Level 2 Core, DOM Range, DOM Traversal, and DOM XPath define interfaces...

XML is buried everywhere in the Microsoft .NET Framework, but effective XML parsing and coding in .NET requires adjustment. This book describes the set of XML core classes in .NET, introduces the .NET XML parsing model and how to program against it, and discusses XML readers and writers and XMLDOM. It examines related technologies such as schemas, transformations, and XPath, and it discusses data issues such as synchronization and serialization, the DiffGram format, and the XML extensions in Microsoft SQL Server 2000. This Microsoft Press title also reveals how to get the best performance from XML with .NET, and it offers in-depth information on interoperability topics such as when to use XML Web services and when to use remoting.

The combination of Extensible Markup Language (XML) and its related interlinking standards bring a range of exciting possibilities to the realm of Internet content management. This practical reference book documents these critical standards, shifting theory into practice for today's developers who are creating tomorrow's useful, efficient, and information-rich applications and Web sites.
Blending advanced reference material with practical guidelines, this authoritative guide presents a historical overview, current developments, and future perspectives in three detailed sections. Part I provides a conceptual framework highlighting current and emerging linking technologies, hypermedia concepts, and the rationale behind the "open" Web of tomorrow. Part II covers the specifics behind the emerging core standards, and then Part III examines how these technologies can be applied and how the concepts can be put to efficient use within the world of Web site management and Web publishing.
