XML Design and Implementation
XML is a mark up language which allows you to define your own tags, and to define data rather than format it. The overall concepts of XML are quite well understood but there is little information available about issues of developing applications using XML. By considering the decisions to be made at various stages of the project, it will help readers understand the various aspects of XML and its related technologies. It will stress the benefits of XML in informational systems, where it can be used to separate content from presentation, and in transactional systems, where it can act as a low-cost alternative to EDI protocols. In Professional XML Design and Implementation, author Paul Spencer teaches readers XML through a combination of traditional tutorial and practical applications. Aimed at HTML coders, this book covers Extensible Markup Language (XML) implementation using Microsoft Internet Explorer 5 and Active Server Pages.

XML Elements of Style
The book is organized into five sections all of which focus on specific, related issues. The first section begins with an in-depth examination of the core structures of XML documents and thoroughly describes the techniques for creating rules about those structures. The second section focuses on the tools XML provides for creating documents and DTDs using both highly reusable smaller components and non-XML content. The third section examines the bigger picture of XML structures from architectural issues to documentation considerationgiving you a clear understanding of the tools needed to create elegant documents with maximum flexibility for interchange and integration. Section four explores the sometimes misused or misunderstood features of XML and the last section concludes with an enlightening discussion of XMLs ability to create documents that can be used in multiple scenarios as well as its ability to connect different systems and processes.
