Essential XML Quick Reference
This book is for anyone working with today's mainstream XML technologies. It was specifically designed to serve as a handy but thorough quick reference that answers the most common XML-related technical questions. It goes beyond the traditional pocket reference design by providing complete coverage of each topic along with plenty of meaningful examples. Each chapter provides a brief introduction, which is followed by the detailed reference information. This approach assumes the reader has a basic understanding of the given topic. The detailed outline (at the beginning), index (in the back), bleeding tabs (along the side), and the page headers/footers were designed to help readers quickly find answers to their questions. Covering all of XML, as well as many related protocols and technologies, this book provides a handy, one-stop resource to XML syntax, usage, and programming techniques. Compiled and written by two leading XML authorities.

Essential XUL Programming
Start building XUL based applications with this introduction to XUL and its technologies. With so many different programming languages and operating systems, developers have been clamoring for a single "meta-language" to develop user interfaces that are cross-platform and cross-device. Mozilla.org responded by creating the eXtensible User interface Language (XUL), which allows developers to break from platform dependencies and develop rich, dynamic user interfaces in record time. Mozilla.org designed XUL to work together with such technologies as Resource Description Framework (RDF), XBL (XML Binding Language), JavaScript, XML (eXtensible Markup Language), and Cascading Style Sheets (CSS). Essential XUL Programming provides developers with an in-depth tutorial on developing XUL-based applications. The XUL library allows for the development of dynamically compiled Swing user interfaces using a XUL document as a description language.

Hack Proofing XML
XML is quickly becoming the universal protocol for transferring information from site to site via HTTP. Whereas HTML will continue to be the language for displaying documents on the Internet, developers will find new and interesting ways to harness the power of XML to transmit, exchange, and manipulate data using XML. Validation of the XML document and of the messages going to that document is the first line of defense in hack proofing XML. The same properties that make XML a powerful language for defining data across systems make it vulnerable to attacks. More important, since many firewalls will pass XML data without filtering, a poorly constructed and invalidated document can constitute a serious system-level vulnerability. Hack Proofing XML will show you the ins and outs of XML and .NET security. Presents new and interesting ways to harness the power of XML to transmit, exchange, and manipulate data using XML.

HTML and XML for Beginners
HTML and XML for Beginners provides Web coding beginners with a concise guide to the world of Hypertext Markup Language (HTML), and previews even more powerful alternatives such as Extensible Markup Language (XML). Rich in examples, the book walks the Web beginner through basic HTML techniques such as creating and publishing Web pages, formatting text, adding graphics, and creating hyperlinks. It shows how to use tables to organize content, forms to gather input from site visitors, image maps to support point-and-click navigation, and styles, properties, and multimedia to add visual and sonic interest. It clearly demonstrates how to spice up Web pages with interactive elements by using Dynamic HTML (DHTML). The book ends with an extensive discussion of XML, and its relevance for data exchange. The book also explores XML variants such as Vector Markup Language (VML), and XHTML the merger of XML and HTML.

Inside XML DTDs
Inside XML DTDs is a complete handbook to the DTDs created for general purpose use as well as specific technical ones. Coverage of data formats, technical formats, and business formats as well as a complete guide to creating, using, and updating DTDs. A guide to creating, using, and updating document type definitions (DTDs), which provide a layer of additional power on top of the document structures built into XML and enable documents to share large chunks of information. Written by a consultant and a programmer, the guide covers both general DTDs and the technically specific MathML, Chemical Markup Language, and Bioinformatic Sequence Language. The CD-ROM contains DTDs discussed in the book, sample documents, and browsers. Topics covered: XML syntax, DTD document design, XLink and XPointer, MathML, RDF and Dublin Core, VHGTM, CML, BioML, BSML, Weather Observation Markup Format, AML, AIML, and Perl-based XML processing.

Introduction to Applied XML
An introduction to the markup technology of XML, this text covers its features and abilities as well as explaining the strategic importance for developing Web-based applications. It: helps students envision how XML can be used to gain a competitive advantage in E-commerce; offers substantial hands-on experience in using and understanding the workings of XML; clarifies confusing terminology that currently pervades the field; and encourages the development of more sophisticated E-commerce applications. The book also shows students the many ways that XML-based applications can be deployed, using available technologies and referring to anticipated developments based on work in progress. Provides students with more than just a cookbook programming text, and challenges them to apply XML to typical EC scenarios. Tutorials with a general XML theme e.g Data Content; Data Definitions; Data Output; and Parsing XML to Collect Data.

J2EE and XML Development
Geared toward experienced developers, this reference demonstrates how Java 2 Platform, Enterprise Edition (J2EE), and XML technologies can be used together to create more robust distributed applications and software systems. The use of XML technology to extend and enhance the capabilities of the J2EE platform is covered in detail. Discussed are J2EE and XML integration at each layer of an n-tier distributed application model. Design patterns, tradeoffs, and decision criteria are provided in terms of individual XML and J2EE technology combinations. Hot topics in application integration are also covered, including Web services, architectures, and business partner integration. This guide teaches how, where, and why to use XML in each layer of a J2EE application. It categorizes and explains recent Java and XML technology developments and suggests ways in which a J2EE application can utilize them. Kurt Gabrick is a software architect and developer.
