XML in Flash
XML in Flash is an excellent introduction to creating state-of-the-art Flash applications with XML. XML is quickly becoming the most popular way to store and manage data. Flash's XML Socket makes it possible to network Flash front-ends to an application server. This allows developers to use a Flash interface for applications such as message boards, real-time chats, surveys, news feeds, and games.XML in Flash begins by illustrating the basics of XML and the Flash XML Object. In Part I, Flash is used as a teaching aid as you learn the basics of Flash/XML integration. Part II covers how Flash works with middleware languages, such as PHP and ASP, as well as performance and optimization. You will also create a Flash message board with a database. Part III delves into the advantages of XMLSocket. Hands-on projects include creating a stock market ticker to receive XML data from servers. Finally, the appendixes include invaluable reference information.

XML In Record Time
XML in Record Time offers a comprehensive look at the Extensible Markup Language (XML) and provides rather lengthy coverage of HTML as well. Author Natanya Pitts uses several chapters of this book to lay a foundation of HTML knowledge and then builds upon it with the ins and outs of XML. After covering the basics of markup languages, Pitts presents XML document-type definitions (DTDs) and XML documents in the broad context of hypertext documents. The book then moves into the more detailed aspects of XML with in-depth discussion of DTDs and content models. The author describes the various entities and introduces you to XLink and XPointer -- specifications governing XML links. Next the author presents XML processors, cascading style sheets (CSS), conversions from HTML to XML, and a look at the present landscape of XML tools and client support. Then it's on to the topic of building XML applications and working with XML vocabularies.

XML in Theory and Practice
XML is a powerful cross-platform mark-up language which has readily been adopted as a standard in many spheres of web and software development. Real benefits include its ease of integration into existing systems, the simplicity of using it in object-oriented environments and its wide applicability. Chris Bates shows how to use XML in modern software developments and backs up a thorough treatment of its key points with clear, practical examples. Programmers and developers wanting both A-Z coverage and a practical how-to, will find stepwise guidance on: creating data, storage formats, implementing interfaces, providing a wireless protocol in distributed applications (SOAP), and creating intermediate data formats on the web. Chris Bates provides live code in Java to show how XML can be employed in the development of applications and also provides details of how XML parsers work. You will learn more than simply how XML operates.
