› Find signed collectible books: 'Ajax in Action'Book summary:[via]Val's Blog "A tremendously useful field guide specifically written for developers down in the trenches...waiting for the killer solution..."
Web users are getting tired of the traditional web experience. They get frustrated losing their scroll position; they get annoyed waiting for refresh; they struggle to reorient themselves on every new page. And the list goes on. With asynchronous JavaScript and XML, known as "Ajax," you can give them a better experience. Once users have experienced an Ajax interface, they hate to go back. Ajax is new way of thinking that can result in a flowing and intuitive interaction with the user.
Ajax in Action helps you implement that thinking--it explains how to distribute the application between the client and the server (hint: use a "nested MVC" design) while retaining the integrity of the system. You will learn how to ensure your app is flexible and maintainable, and how good, structured design can help avoid problems like browser incompatibilities. Along the way it helps you unlearn many old coding habits. Above all, it opens your mind to the many advantages gained by placing much of the processing in the browser. If you are a web developer who has prior experience with web technologies, this book is for you.
Purchase of the print book comes with an offer of a free PDF, ePub, and Kindle eBook from Manning. Also available is all code from the book.

› Find signed collectible books: 'Beginning Xml'Book summary: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.
Very little space is wasted detailing the history of XML and its relation to SGML, as is the case in many other titles. The argument for the importance of XML is made quickly, and the basics of well-formed syntax are tackled right off. One notable distinction of this book is its excellent coverage of related technologies, such as cascading style sheets (CSS) and relational databases.
In addition to discussing the crucial companion standards to the core XML language (DTDs, XSL, and XSLT), the book adds a nice perspective to the broad range of applications in which XML can play a role. One section, "Other Uses for XML," illustrates how XML can be used to serialize object models, creating stateless objects and utilizing the Resource Description Framework (RDF). Case studies on--among other things--how XML can be used to build discussion groups, and provide B2B data transfer, round out the text. This book is perfect for Web programmers who are turning their attention to XML for the first time. It imparts a solid understanding of the XML forest and XML trees. --Stephen W. Plain

› Find signed collectible books: 'Effective Xml: 50 Specific Ways to Improve Your Xml'Book summary:Learning the fundamentals of XML might take a programmer a week. Learning how to use XML effectively might take a lifetime. While many books have been written that teach developers how to use the basic syntax of XML, this is the first one that really focuses on how to use XML well. This book is not a tutorial. It is not going to teach you what a tag is or how to write a DTD (Document Type Definition). Instead it's going to tell you when, why, where, and how to use such tools effectively (and equally important when not to use them).Since XML has become a fundamental underpinning of new software systems, it becomes important to ask new questions, not just what XML is, but how does one use it effectively? Which techniques work and which don't? Perhaps most importantly, which techniques appear to work at first but fail to scale as systems are further developed? This book answers these questions. It is not enough to write programs that compile and produce the expected results. It is important to write code that is extensible, legible, and maintainable. XML can be used to produce robust, extensible, maintainable systems. [via]

Essential Xml: Beyond Markupby John Lam, Don Box, Aaron SkonnardISBN 0201709147 (0-201-70914-7)
Softcover, Addison-Wesley
Find This Book
› Find signed collectible books: 'Essential Xml: Beyond Markup'Book summary:XML is often treated as the next pop standard in mark-up, but seldom in depth as a set of software development specifications. Essential XML digs deep into XML, examining its capabilities as an underlying data exchange format. This book is for serious software developers who are comfortable with technical terminology.
Right from the start, the book addresses XML as a data format and not a presentation mechanism. It is the belief of the authors that XML hand coding by humans will fade away as XML becomes increasingly a low-level standard for providing communication between applications. The entire book revolves around the XML Information Set (InfoSet), an XML specification that the authors feel is under-examined by most XML aficionados. The InfoSet defines XML documents in terms independent of syntax.
The opening section provides an overview to the InfoSet, albeit a very technical examination. There's little ramping up in this book--readers must be prepared to dig into the nitty-gritty right from the start. The text moves on to discuss programming XML via the DOM and SAX, as well as key topics like transformations and navigation.
One of the book's strongest points is its examination of XML as a messaging technology for the software development market of the future. In a discussion of XML as an improvement over standard component models, the authors proclaim, "as the software industry looks to XML as a solution to all problems short of world hunger, there is a tendency to reinvent the entire automobile and highway system in the process of reinventing the wheel".
Developers fluent in component programming and distributed object models will glean the most from this book. Casual XML implementers should look for a more introductory guide, but tool developers will find this title quite insightful in charting their XML course. --Stephen W. Plain, Amazon.com
Topics covered:
- XML Information Set (InfoSet)
- Simple API for XML Version 2 (SAX2)
- Document Object Model Level 2 (DOML2)
- Apache Xerces
- Microsoft XML
- Xpath
- Xpointer
- Xinclude
- Xbase
- XML Schemas
- XSLT
- XML as a software integration technology

› Find signed collectible books: 'Flash and Xml: A Developer's Guide'Book summary:Instead of just "gee-whiz" animation or cool user interfaces, Flash pros need to build truly useful sites that are viable for the long-term. That means interfacing Flash with dynamic content, backend databases, server-based applications, and even with other live users. The key to all these is XML. Now, there's a book that shows you exactly how to build enterprise Flash applications that integrate XML -- and leverage its full power. Flash and XML is structured in 19 progressive lessons. In each lesson, the authors teach a key principle of Flash enterprise integration by first explaining it, and then demonstrating it with working code. The book begins with an introduction to Flash and ActionScript that's ideal for working developers, and also serves as a useful refresher for Flash professionals. Next, the authors introduce XML, review the role of HTTP in Web development, and start writing PHP-based server code for accessing back-end data. Next, they show how to extend Flash and server-side systems to a third-tier, connecting with back-end databases via SQL.Every chapter's code samples build on what's come before, constructing a robust application that encompasses client-side Flash code, server-side XML, back-end remote database access, and even emulated "peer-to-peer" connections. For both Flash professionals (with or without XML experience) and software engineers involved in Web development (with or without Flash experience). [via]

Find This Book
› Find signed collectible books: 'Inside XML'Book summary:Intended to be the only XML book you need, Inside XML covers everything from creating and defining XML documents, including document-type definitions and what you use them for, to using them in your apps as well as looking at some Web-specific implementations. Producing an XML document is only the start, you need to be able to use it in your programs and this book covers handling XML with JavaScript or with Java, using XML's document model or with SAX--the Simple API for XML--which is easier to use than parsing the entire document tree.
XML is about displaying information as well as managing it and there is a section on how to display XML in a browser with XML style sheets (CSS) or with XSL. XML transforms one type of document into another; a powerful feature Inside XML makes it easy to master.
If you want to learn how to use XML and what to do with it, this is the book for you, covering both Microsoft and non-Microsoft XML tools. It's full of detail with plenty of code samples and links to relevant Web pages and tools. A huge book, that is clearly written and well arranged, it's up-to-date enough to cover XML schemas and also looks at some of the XML standards that are starting to appear, from XLinks and XPointers to XHTML, so it will be useful for some time to come. And it finishes with a look at the Vector Markup language designed to use XML to handle graphics, and WML (best known from WAP phones). This book really does cover everything you could want to know about XML. --Penny Jannifer [via]

Java & Xmlby Brett McLaughlinISBN 0596001975 (0-596-00197-5)

Find This Book
› Find signed collectible books: 'Java & Xml'Book summary:Brett McLaughlin's Java and XML is a well-informed guide to the partnership between two key technologies. For this 2nd edition, the author has slimmed down the introductory material on XML, making room for expanded coverage of fast-moving topics such as JAXP, SOAP and Web Services. There is plenty of new material, so this is a book worth buying even if you have the earlier edition. The author is a co-founder of JDOM, an XML document API, and is a well-known contributor to various other open-source projects. It is no surprise to find a focus on open-source tools and resources in this book.
This title does not aim to teach either Java or XML from scratch, although the first two chapters do offer an XML crash course. The following chapters cover SAX 2.0, a standard API for parsing XML, and after that there is a detailed look at the DOM (Document Object Model). JDOM gets extensive coverage, as you would expect from the author's involvement, and there is a strong chapter on JAXP, the official API for XML parsing from Sun Microsystems, explaining why it is widely misunderstood and how it complements other standards such as SAX. The second half of the book offers a chapter each on more advanced topics. One covers Web publishing frameworks, with a particular focus on Apache Cocoon. After that the author covers XML-RPC, SOAP and Web services. A chapter on content syndication shows how to use XSL and RSS (Rich Site Summary) to publish and consume information. Next comes data binding using the Castor or Zeus frameworks, or Sun's official JAXB API. Finally there is a brief look at up-and-coming APIs, and a concise reference for SAX, DOM, JDOM and JAXP.
Practical, informative and well-written, this book is ideal for professionals who are either working with Java and XML, or considering doing so. --Tim Anderson [via]

› Find signed collectible books: 'Java And Xml'Book summary:Two hot topics come together in this developer's guide from Brett McLaughlin, Java and XML. Both Java and XML are cross-platform technologies; by using Java for code and XML for transporting data, you can build truly portable applications. This title is aimed at intermediate to advanced programmers; while XML topics are explained more or less from scratch, readers will need prior knowledge of Java.
The book begins with an overview of XML and its uses, and goes on to explain how to parse XML by using the Simple API for XML (SAX 2). Next, there is coverage of how XML is validated by using Document Type Definitions (DTDs) and XML Schema, and transformed by using eXtensible Stylesheet Language (XSL). Brief coverage of Sun's Java API for XML is followed by a detailed look at the Java Document Object Model (JDOM), a new API devised by the author in association with O'Reilly, the publisher.
The last part of the book is more advanced, and covers applications of XML and Java. There are chapters on Web-publishing frameworks, XML Remote Procedure Calls (RPCs), using XML to read and write configuration data, and generating XML with Java. There is also a short business-to-business example. Appendices provide an API reference to the various specifications discussed in the book.
The strengths of Java and XML include the author's deep knowledge of his subject, and a writing style that is both clear and enthusiastic. If you happen to know a lot about Java and not much about XML, this is the ideal title. Readers who already have a good grasp of XML basics might be frustrated by the amount of introductory material. --Tim Anderson [via]

› Find signed collectible books: 'Learning Xml'Book summary:Although Learning XML covers XML with a broad brush, it nevertheless presents the key elements of the technology with enough detail to familiarise the reader with the crucial markup language. This guide is brief enough to tackle in a weekend.
Author Erik T Ray begins with an excellent summary of XML's history as an outgrowth of SGML and HTML. He outlines very clearly the elements of markup, demystifying concepts such as attributes, entities and namespaces with numerous clear examples. To illustrate a real-world XML application, he gives the reader a look at a document written in DocBook--a publicly available XML document type for publishing technical writings--and explains the sections of the document step by step. A simplified version of DocBook is used later in the book to illustrate transformation--a powerful benefit of XML.
The all-important Document Type Definition (DTD) is covered in depth, but the still-unofficial alternative--XML Schema--is only briefly addressed. The author makes liberal use of graphical illustrations, tables and code to demonstrate concepts along the way, keeping the reader engaged and on track. Ray also gets into a deep discussion of programming XML utilities with Perl.
Learning XML is a highly readable introduction to XML for readers with existing knowledge of markup and Web technologies, and it meets its goals very well--to deliver a broad perspective of XML and its potential. --Stephen W Plain [via]

› Find signed collectible books: 'Learning Xslt'Book summary:[via]XSLT is a powerful language for transforming XML documents into something else. That something else can be an HTML document, another XML document, a Portable Document Format (PDF) file, a Scalable Vector Graphics (SVG) file, a Virtual Reality Modeling Language (VRML) file, Java code, or a number of other things. You write an XSLT stylesheet to define the rules for transforming an XML document, and the XSLT processor does the work.
As useful as XSLT is, its peculiar characteristics make it a difficult language in which to get started. In fact, newcomers are often a little dazed on first contact. Learning XSLT offers a hands-on introduction to help them get up to speed with XSLT quickly. The book will help web developers and designers understand this powerful but often mystifying template-driven and functional-styled language, getting them over the many differences between XSLT and the more conventional programming languages.
Learning XSLT moves smoothly from the simple to complex, illustrating all aspects of XSLT 1.0 through step-by-step examples that you'll practice as you work through the book. Thorough in its coverage of the language, the book makes few assumptions about what you may already know. You'll learn about XSLT's template-based syntax, how XSLT templates work with each other, and gain an understanding of XSLT variables. Learning XSLT also explains how the XML Path Language (XPath) is used by XSLT and provides a glimpse of what the future holds for XSLT 2.0 and XPath 2.0.
The ability to transform one XML vocabulary to another is fundamental to exploiting the power of XML. Learning XSLT is a carefully paced, example-rich introduction to XSLT that will have you understanding and using XSLT on your own in no time.

› Find signed collectible books: 'Office 2003 XML'Book summary:[via]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.

› Find signed collectible books: 'Perl and Xml'Book summary:Perl and XML shows how to combine two key Web technologies. Perl is a great language for server-side Web scripting, but XML parsers are generally written in Java or C++. Even so, Perl is everywhere, its strong text processing features make it a good partner for XML, and the chances are that Perl developers will need to work with XML sooner or later. Written with lively good humour, this title explains how to parse, validate and generate XML using a variety of techniques. It does not teach Perl, but does include an excellent short introduction to XML itself.
After setting the scene, the authors set out the basics of XML parsing and writing, using the XML::Parser and XML::Writer modules. This is a good place to start, but the book makes it clear that the future of Perl and XML is in standard interfaces like SAX, which is the subject of another chapter. There is also an explanation of tree processing using XML::Simple or the standard DOM. (Document Object Model). The last chapters cover other XML technologies including XPath, XSLT and SOAP.
Packed with plenty of example code, this title is very much a guide rather than a reference. It does a great job of presenting XML from a Perl perspective, showing why it is useful and how to go about finding and installing the right modules. A couple of short but complete examples at the end help to put it all together, and there are lots of handy tips and warnings sprinkled throughout the book.--Tim Anderson [via]

The problem is not so much XML itself but all the related technologies and applications, such as XSLT for transforming XML, SAX for parsing it and SOAP for calling remote procedures using XML messages. Some XML titles, like O'Reilly's XML in a Nutshell, manage to be more concise by focusing only on the core of XML. The downside with such titles is that you will need further resources in order to get an idea of how XML can usefully be put to work. Professional XML is better in this respect, because it is more wide ranging and has case studies and examples.
The early sections of the book cover XML basics: syntax, validation using DTDs (Document Type Definitions) and Schema, navigation with XPath and use of XSLT. Next there is a look at programming XML through the DOM (Document Object Model), SAX 2 and through advanced XSLT. An extensive database section includes chapters on data modelling, data binding with the Java-based Castor specification and use of XQuery. The later chapters cover XML applications including SVG for scalable graphics, XSL FO (Formatting Objects) for document presentation, RDF (Resource Description Framework) for transporting meta data, SOAP and finally business-to-business messaging with Microsoft BizTalk server and with UDDI (Universal Description, Discovery and Integration).
Professional XML is a detailed if rather dry tour of XML from a developer's perspective. It maintains a fair balance between Java and Microsoft implementations of XML tools. Overall it makes a valuable one-volume resource, although most developers will want to supplement it with more specialist XML titles. --Tim Anderson [via]

Professional Xml Databasesby Kevin WilliamsISBN 1861003587 (1-86100-358-7)
Softcover, Springer-Verlag New York Inc

› Find signed collectible books: 'Professional Xml Databases'Book summary:Besides a tutorial for learning how to use XML as an effective way to represent and transmit data across the Web, Professional XML Databases covers how to work with it in the current generation of Microsoft tools like Internet Explorer and SQL Server 2000. For any developer or manager who works with databases on the Windows platform, this book shows how you can delve into XML today for real projects.
With endorsements from virtually every major vendor (including Microsoft), XML looks to be a compelling standard for sharing corporate data between organisations. Professional XML Databases examines how to integrate XML into your organisation's database infrastructure. Early sections concentrate on the rules and strategies for designing effective XML documents (DTDs) which mimic traditional tables (including links between tables). By providing almost a dozen rules of how to do this correctly, you'll learn not only the basics of XML syntax but also the correct way to create DTDs that are efficient, easy to maintain and readable. (Further sections reverse this process and show how to create database tables based on XML.)
Subsequent sections cover many of the standards and APIs in today's XML, from XML Schemas, the XML W3C Document Object Model (DOM), the Simple API for XML (SAX), as well as related standards like XSLT, XPath and XPointer. A number of books cover these APIs, but this one provides a unique focus by examining Microsoft tools and its support for XML. This means coverage of Microsoft ADO (and ADO+, now called ADO.NET) for querying databases and packaging the results as XML. Sections on SQL Server 2000 highlight ways to use XML in this product, both as results and through XML views.
Closing sections explore options for working with XML for data warehousing and transmitting data efficiently across organisations. Sections on Java and the DBPrism (an open-source XML framework) help give this book a perspective which extends beyond the Microsoft platform.
For any database developer or designer who needs to create XML documents to share data in real projects, this advanced treatise on the right way to define and use XML will prove highly valuable. For anyone who uses SQL Server 2000, this book also points the way toward using XML standards in actual shipping products on the Microsoft platform. --Richard Dragan [via]

› Find signed collectible books: 'Professional Xml for .Net Developers'Book summary:XML is now an established technology for the description and transportation of data, and has made a major impact on almost every aspect of software development. When Microsoft introduced the .NET Framework, they took advantage of XML wherever they could. No other technology is so tightly bound with .NET as XML, both at the developer level and underlying the whole framework.
This book aims to give the reader enough information to be able to use XML from within the .NET Framework in the most efficient manner possible. It will explain in detail the usage of all the XML-related .NET Framework library classes for the manipulation, validation, transformation, and serialization of XML data, using both C# and Visual Basic .NET. It also looks at how the developer can utilize the full power of XML within the .NET Framework, for example, with the new XML capabilities of ADO.NET and ASP.NET. As is demonstrated, the .NET Framework itself uses XML, in configuration files, meta data, and C#'s XML code documentation mechanism, for example.
This book is aimed at intermediate-level programmers who have started on their journey towards .NET development, and who want to see how to use XML within their applications to its best advantage. Basic knowledge of C# or Visual Basic .NET, XML, and XML related technologies (XSLT, XPath, and XML Schemas) is necessary.
This book covers:
Reading and writing XML
DOM navigation and XSL transformations of XML
Validating and serializing XML
MSXML vs System.Xml
ADO.NET and ASP.NET XML support
Web Services and SOAP
Remoting

› Find signed collectible books: 'SVG Essentials'Book summary:SVG Essentials is a programmer's guide to Scalable Vector Graphics, the official W3C recommendation for portable, scaleable images on the Web. SVG is an XML application, and has great potential as a standard, open and powerful technique for including rich graphics and animation in Web pages. Macromedia's proprietary Flash plug-in is widely used for the same purpose, but SVG is the official solution. Complete with hundreds of code examples along with both colour and black-and-white illustrations, this title describes the SVG specification and shows how to create and manipulate SVG documents. The book uses open-source technology throughout, and readers should already be familiar with both XML and Java.
The author begins with an overview of SVG, and goes on to describe the coordinate system, the basic shapes, and how documents are structured. Chapters on paths, patterns and gradients show how to create and fill any shape, including Bezier curves. Text gets a chapter of its own, explaining how to make text follow a path or even make it read right-to-left, for international language support. Sections on clipping, masking and filters cover these more advanced graphical techniques, and an important chapter covers animation and Javascript scripting. The book goes on to show how to generate SVG from other XML data, such as MathML, used to describe mathematical symbols and equations. Finally, there is a chapter on how to serve up SVG using Java servlets.
Clearly written and logically presented, this is an excellent choice for Web developers who want to get started with SVG. --Tim Anderson [via]

› Find signed collectible books: 'XML : A Manager's Guide'Book summary:Amid the technical hoopla over the Extensible Markup Language (XML), many managers and executives find themselves scratching their heads and wondering what the new language means to them. In XML: A Manager's Guide, author Kevin Dick offers an executive summary of this exciting new technology that focuses on the big picture.
This book is a quick read, partly due to its bulleted format. Frequent topic headings and accompanying blurbs in the margin for each make it easy for even hurried readers to pick up the key concepts quickly. However, the author doesn't cut any corners in describing the basic nature of XML and its associated standards and tools. The first part of the book is devoted to this high-level tutorial and includes useful diagrams and code examples that nonprogrammers can easily understand.
The most instructive part of the book comes in the second half. Here, the author illustrates some of the ways XML can be useful in the real world and does a great job of demonstrating the wide-reaching applications of XML. Five example applications for enterprises and five more for vendors are presented in miniature case studies. Here the reader will see how XML can be used for workflow, data integration, distributed protocols, knowledge management, and more. --Stephen W. Plain

› Find signed collectible books: 'Xml: A Primer'Book summary: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]

› Find signed collectible books: 'Xml by Example'Book summary:XML books are a dime a dozen, but many are quite tedious in the way they methodically step through all of the various standards. Que's Example series helps you learn by doing with countless examples that build your knowledge through hands-on experience. XML by Example covers an impressive amount of material in relatively little space, providing critical XML knowledge using a reader-friendly format.
This second edition has been updated to cover the latest and greatest features of the ever-evolving XML standard. It includes coverage of the final XML Schemas recommendation and the latest developments of XSL. The book is quite suitable for anyone with basic HTML knowledge.
The book steps its way through all the key topics--namespaces, models, transformations, formatting, etc.--with a style that keeps you engaged in what each topic looks like in real code, versus in theory. Plenty of notes and cautions highlight important points and pitfalls. There is an excellent presentation of how XML can be used to render formatted HTML using Cascading Style Sheets and XSL--one of the first areas many developers want to tackle when wading into the XML universe.
Advanced topics such as SOAP and three-tier architectures are presented, albeit only at a level of detail sufficient to familiarize you with the concepts. XML by Example is an excellent place to start to learn XML and a strong preparatory text for more extensive reading on the subject. --Stephen W. Plain [via]

› Find signed collectible books: 'Xml for the World Wide Web: Visual Quickstart Guide'Book summary:The Visual QuickStart Guide series from Peachpit Press is known for boiling topics down to the essentials and presenting them in an engaging, efficient way to get the reader up to speed quickly. In applying this model to XML, author Elizabeth Castro had her work cut out for her.
Fortunately for her readers, Castro has successfully identified the core components of XML and presented them in a streamlined way. XML for the World Wide Web doesn't tackle any of the advanced elements of XML technology, such as SOAP, SAX or integration with the Document Object Model (DOM). Instead, it focuses on teaching the basic nuts and bolts of creating XML documents, styling them and defining their structure.
This book moves at a fast pace. Document Type Definitions (DTD), for instance, get only 30 pages of coverage. This tight format is composed of simple examples that illustrate commands and concepts instead of pages of text. The pages are presented in a two-column format so that code fragments can be wisely placed alongside the step-by-step explanatory text. Each topic example is supplemented with one or more useful implementation tips.
For a true grasp on XML and all of its potential, you will need to follow up this introductory tutorial with more reading on the applications of the technology and case studies. But this little book is a great way to learn the basics of XML in a weekend. --Stephen W. Plain

Find This Book
› Find signed collectible books: 'The XML Companion'Book summary:One of the most important technologies on the XML bandwagon is XSL, which really comprises separate XSL, XSLT and Xpath standards. The XSL Companion provides in-depth coverage of XSL and XSLT--the core technologies behind formatting XML data.
This book focuses on the details of how XSLT in particular can be used to mould information on the fly. The author breaks the standard apart into digestible chapters such as "contextual formatting" and "sorting". The content is fast moving and demands a technical reader comfortable with complexity. Those new to XML technologies should pick up a general tutorial prior to tackling this book.
Along with text explanations of all the magic XSLT and XSL can do, the author uses code snippets as well as numerous graphical diagrams to illustrate information processing, layout and tree navigation. These visual elements add much to the explanation of what would otherwise be very abstract concepts indeed.
The author addresses head on the fact that much of XSLT's job today is turning XML data into HTML-formatted documents compatible with the current batch of browsers. There is plenty of focus in this book on how that is done, but the chief purpose still remains the exploration of the powerful transformation and formatting features the XSL standards provide. --Stephen W.

Find This Book
› Find signed collectible books: 'Xslt'Book summary:Subtitled "Mastering XML Transformations", XSLT covers a core XML technology. XML is great for processing or transporting data, but it is rarely what you want as final output. Using XSLT, you can transform XML data into a presentation format such as HTML or Adobe PDF. You can also transform data from one XML vocabulary into another. This title is both a tutorial and reference, explaining the full use of XSLT and XPath expressions.
The book opens with a concise overview of XML and a guide to installing Apache's Xalan XSLT engine, which is used for the examples throughout. The next chapter puts XSLT to work, showing how to create and apply a simple style sheet. Chapter 3 introduces XPath, with the following chapter covering more advanced topics such as branching, looping, recursion, invoking XSLT templates with parameters and using XSLT variables. The following chapter deals with linking, the next sorting and grouping, and after that the author shows how to use the document function to combine XML documents. There is a detailed look at extending XSLT with Java, Javascript and other languages. To close the tutorial section the author offers a case study centred on a tutorial-building tool he developed, with the engaging name of Toot-O-Matic. The reference section occupies nearly half of the book, and covers XSLT and XPath. It is the best kind of reference, with detailed examples, comments and illustrations. Finally there is a brief guide to common problems and a glossary.
This is a fine book for those who need to get up to speed with XSLT, which must include most XML developers. It is also worth checking out Michael Kay's XSLT Programmer's Reference. Kay's book has a little more detail, while this title is more approachable for XSLT newcomers. --Tim Anderson [via]

The recipes range from simple string-manipulation and mathematical processing to more complex topics like extending XSLT, testing and debugging XSLT stylesheets, and graphics creation with SVG. Recipes can be run directly or tweaked to fit your particular application's needs more precisely.
Each recipe walks through a problem and a solution, with explanations of the choices made and techniques used in creating that solution, and many recipes include alternate solutions and explore issues like convenience and performance. Topics covered include:
- String manipulation
- Mathematical processing
- Date and time handling
- Interactions between calendar systems
- Selecting content in source documents
- Efficient tree-manipulation
- Conversions from XML to plain text
- Tweaking XML documents with stylesheets
- Using XSLT to query XML documents
- Generating HTML with XSLT
- Creating charts and graphs with SVG and XSLT
- Generating C and XSLT code using XSLT
- Processing Visio documents in XSLT
- Working with XML Topic Maps (XTM)
- Using XSLT to create SOAP documentation from WSDL
- Extending XSLT with additional functions
- Embedding XSLT in other processing
- Testing and debugging XSLT stylesheets
- Creating generic XSLT processors which work on many XML vocabularies

› Find signed collectible books: 'Xslt: Programmer's Reference'Book summary:As XML begins to take hold, the eXtensible Stylesheet Language: Transformation (XSLT) standard will be playing a major role in making all those XML predictions a reality. Author Michael Kay exudes enthusiasm in this guide, XSLT Programmer's Reference, by taking every opportunity to illustrate the power and flexibility of XSLT.
Kay calls XSLT the "SQL of the Web"--a phrase that is sure to perk up the ears of many readers expecting a simple documentation of just another Web-language standard. Like other Wrox Programmer's Reference series titles, this book starts off with chapters that rapidly introduce the concepts and set the context for the core of the book, which is a complete documentation of the XSLT standard. The book uses this space well to explore the transformation process and the tree structure that is used for both input and output of style sheet documents. By the time the reader gets to the reference section of the book, he or she will be convinced of the power of XSLT.
Each element of XSLT is covered with concise examples that include both the source XML code and style sheet code. XSLT style sheets can be used in a variety of ways and across a wide spectrum of complexity. The book helps the reader grasp this concept by presenting four style-sheet design patterns that comprise the vast majority of implementations. The text looks at each, demonstrating how to identify the design pattern by its content and apply it to appropriate circumstances.
XSLT is the true muscle behind XML and is integral to putting XML to work in the real world. This title is simply a must-have for any developer utilizing XML. --Stephen W. Plain
