Designing XML Internet Applications ANNOTATION
This definitive and recommended programming guide examines eXtensible Markup Language (XML) and its use in Internet and intranet applications. More than a guide, this publication is also a reference for programmers, document designers and information managers. The authors define and describe the new paradigm of data centric applications, automated information, document transmission and document retrieval. Make no mistake, this is definitely not the evolutionary HTML, this is a streamlined SGML standard that organizes resources and information for efficient and effective dissemination.
FROM THE PUBLISHER
Designing XML Internet Applications is the first complete guide to building XML Internet applications that can automate and simplify virtually every form of electronic communication. Learn why your organization needs XML - and how it combines SGML's legendary power with the simplicity and accessibility of the best Web-based applications. Walk step-by-step through the fundamentals of XML usage and design: not just basic syntax, but the real-world processes you must understand to achieve XML's full benefits.
SYNOPSIS
Want to be ready when XML starts to show up as a standard feature of Netscape Navigator, Internet Explorer, and (rumor has it) maybe even Microsoft Office? Start exploring now. Designing XML Internet Applications shows how to integrate XML with Java, C++, C, and Perl -- and there's plenty of sample code on the accompanying CD-ROM.
FROM THE CRITICS
Library Journal
Leventhal's book is for programmers who need to use Perl or Java to do XML application development for databases, bulletin boards, E-mail, parsing, and web agents. There is a lot of good information, but this is not easy reading.
Booknews
For readers with previous experience developing Internet applications using other tools, introduces XML, a new standard descended from SGML, as an alternative to HGML. Explains how to think about structured information within the system, how to apply that thinking to an intranet application design, and how to implement the applications. The CD-ROM contains the Java, C++, and Pearl source code needed, along with XML tools and the Java Development Kit. No bibliography. Annotation c. by Book News, Inc., Portland, Or.
