* XML is now ubiquitous, not just in Web development, but as the underpinning of interactive Web services: applications that really do run on any platform
* Includes twenty-four one-hour lessons that recreate a typical week-long introductory seminar
* Provides readers with a sound, fundamental understanding of XML and how it changes application development
* Explains how to use XML when dealing with transforms, schemas, and other Web services requirements
* The authors teach courses for IBM Canada
* Companion Web site features an online presentation by the authors that follows along with each chapter and includes an audio-only option for readers with dial-up Internet connection

Beginning XML provides a complete course in the Extensible Markup Language (XML) with an unusually gradual learning curve. In fact, the introduction states that the book is "for people who know that it would be a pretty good idea to learn the language, but aren't 100 percent sure why." Despite its recognition of the fuzziness of readers' understanding of the technology, the book delivers a rather comprehensive study of XML.

XML technologies offer web developers and designers more flexibility than ever before. In Real-World XML, industry expert Joe Marini covers the best programming practices with XML, including the tools needed to build effective XML structures. He demonstrates the implementation of XML formats, how these formats work in real-world situations, and how they can facilitate project planning and development. Exercise files accompany the course.

Цель настоящей книги — по возможности глубоко рассмотреть вопросы создания приложений XML на языке Java. В этой книге рассмотрена реализация стандартов XML, таких как DOM и XSL, на языке Java, а также влияние, которое оказал XML на библиотеки Java (например, Swing и JavaBeans). Все темы этой книги проиллюстрированы новыми примерами полностью работоспособных программ. «Блоковый» подход, который был использован при написании этой книги, позволит вам быстро найти полноценные ответы на интересующие вас вопросы. Авторы подразумевали, что вы знакомы с основами языка Java. Однако предварительное знакомство с XML для чтения этой книги совсем не обязательно: мы рассмотрим XML с самого начала.

Unique guide to records management methodologies for Microsoft Office SharePoint Server 2007

There may be books available on how to develop solutions for Microsoft Office SharePoint Server 2007, but this is the first book to provide step-by-step guidance for designing and building records management solutions on the SharePoint platform. You'll learn the five core services of any records management system-confidentiality, information integrity, high availability, adherence to policy, and audit ability-then explore the tools and techniques needed to implement them in SharePoint.

The book helps you understand official records in the context of day-to-day collaboration and regulatory compliance; you'll also learn how to design extensible Windows Workflow Foundation (WF) components with records management as the central focus.

* Reviews Office SharePoint Server and how it provides a solid foundation for managing official records using specially constructed web sites and custom components
* Discusses the "File Plan", which describes where each record is stored, how long it is kept, and the manner and conditions under which it is destroyed
* Shows you how to apply the powerful features of the SharePoint platform to convert collaborative documents into managed files in a record center site
* Addresses best practices for creating records repositories, developing file plans to identify official records, controlling the creation and distribution of records using custom content types and information policy components, and more
* The companion Web site includes downloadable code modules you can use as a starting point for building real-world records management solutions on the SharePoint platform

If you're a programmer, software architect, business analyst, or IT professional working in SharePoint, you'll want this unique book on your shelf.

Numerous books abound for the beginning programmer who wants to learn XML, but there are few learning resources available for those who are already proficient in XML and need expert-level advice to help maximize their workflow. Advanced XML Applications from the Experts at The XML Guild provides such a resource, written by the expert programmers at The XML Guild. The book is not intended to be another exhaustive XML "bible," rather, it’s a collection of advanced tips and techniques that the authors have used in the real world-and are now happy to share with you. Each chapter is written by the guild member considered to be the expert on a particular topic.

Commercial systems built today are increasingly using XML technologies for storing any amount of text or data.

Services and Business Computing Solutions with XML: Applications for Quality Management and Best Processes collects the latest research for academicians and practitioners that describes the use and synergy between data structure technologies. This book explores and investigates various issues of XML data and related applications summarized by Web services.

Provides the basic education in the XSLT processing model that developers have requested

The growth of XML content management applications is boosting the demand for XSLT and XPath skills. This beginning Wrox book provides a firm foundation in the XSLT processing model, giving developers an important skillset.

XML for ASP.NET Developers first gives a solid foundation in the basics of MSXML including XML Syntax, XML Schemas, Xpath, Xlink, Xpointer, and other concepts necessary to leverage the power of XML. After the building blocks of XML are thoroughly covered, Dan guides readers through manipulating XML documents using the Document Object Model (DOM) and XSL (Extensible Stylesheet Language) both on the client and the server. Detailed examples combined with easy to follow tutorials will have readers transforming XML documents into professional looking applications quickly and easily. Providing a single source for information on a variety of XML related technologies makes XML for ASP.NET Developers a necessary edition to any developer's library and sets it apart from any book available today.
