› Find signed collectible books: 'Office 2003 XML'
In Microsoft's Office 2003, users experience the merger of the power of the classic Office suite of applications with the fluidity of data exchange inherent in XML. With XML at its heart, the new version of Microsoft's desktop suite liberates the information stored in millions of documents created with Office software over the past fifteen years, making it available to a wide variety of programs.
Office 2003 XML offers an in-depth exploration of the relationship between XML and Office 2003, examining how the various products in the Office suite both produce and consume XML. Developers will learn how they can connect Microsoft Office to others systems, while power users will learn to create and analyze XML documents using familiar Office tools.
The book begins with an overview of the XML features included in the various Office 2003 components, and explores in detail how Word, Excel, and Access interact with XML. This book covers both the user interface side, creating interfaces so that users can comfortably (and even unknowingly) work with XML, and the back end, exposing Office information to other processes. It also looks at Microsoft's new InfoPath application and how it fits with the rest of Office. Finally, the book's appendices introduce various XML technologies that may be useful in working with Office, including XSLT, W3C XML Schema, RELAX NG, and SOAP. Office 2003 XML provides quick and clear guidance to a anyone who needs to import or export information from Office documents into other systems. Both XML programmers and Office power will learn how to get the most from this powerful new intersection between Office 2003 and XML.

Programming Web Services with XML-RPC explains how to use XML over HTTP to build distributed applications. This of course is the realm of SOAP (Simple Object Access Protocol), which is an evolving W3C standard. XML-RPC is not SOAP, although the two have a common ancestry. XML-RPC has fewer features than SOAP, and is procedural rather than object-orientated. On the plus side, it is a stable, practical and easy-to-use standard.
After a couple of chapters introducing XML-RPC, this short book gets straight down to the nitty-gritty of implementing solutions in a variety of languages. There is a chapter each on Java, Perl, PHP, Python, and ASP (Active Server Pages). Each chapter explains where to find XML-RPC libraries, and how to create both client and server applications, complete with snippets of example code. Although few readers will be working with all these technologies, the diversity demonstrates how effectively XML-RPC bridges different languages and platforms. By way of illustration, one of the ASP examples shows how to talk to Microsoft Access from Linux, a common real-world problem in mixed-platform environments.
The closing chapter gives the wider picture, showing where to find public XML-RPC services, offering design tips, and explaining how to choose between XML-RPC and SOAP. There is an appendix covering XML basics, and a second one offering a brief introduction to HTTP. For anyone who has looked at SOAP and found it bewilderingly complex, XML-RPC and this book could well be the answer. --Tim Anderson [via]

› Find signed collectible books: 'Xml: A Primer'
Simon St. Laurent's foray into XML is best described by an adjective not often used with computer books: charming. From its portable size to its playful code examples, XML: A Primer is an interesting and well-crafted read. Stylistic considerations aside, it is also a useful introduction for anyone who does considerable work in HTML or SGML.
St. Laurent explains the nuanced differences between XML and HTML, stating, "Using XML requires a different focus, demanding that designers examine the way that their documents are built rather than the way they are formatted." He later comments, "XML doesn't go nearly as far as SGML in requiring conformance to standards, but it may still come as a shock to HTML developers. XML standards refer to processors (parsers), not to browsers, because much XML development will be intended for machine-readable data applications rather than graphically exciting web pages."
If you are curious about the hype surrounding XML, ready for an XML book you can read cover to cover, and comfortable with lengthy code examples, XML: A Primer will offer you the knowledge you need to understand this emerging technology. [via]
