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.

Java and XSLT
The power of XSLT is its ability to change the structure or format of any content that can be converted to XML. Java and XSLT shows you how to use XSL transformations in Java programs ranging from stand-alone applications to servlets. After an introduction to XSLT, the book focuses on applying transformations in some real-world scenarios, such as developing a discussion forum, transforming documents from one form to another, and generating content for wireless devices. Java and XSLT discusses several common XSLT processors and the TRAX API, paying special attention to performance issues. Although there's a brief tutorial introduction to the XSLT language, the primary focus of the book isn't on learning XSLT or developing stylesheets; it's on making practical use of transformations in Java code. The book covers: XSLT Basics; XSLT Beyond The Basics; Java Web Architecture; Programmatic Interfaces to XSLT Processors; Using XSLT with Servlets.

Mastering XMI
XMI (XML Metadata Interchange) is an advance in XML technology that enables you to represent objects in XML, exchange those objects with other software tools, and exploit modeling technology in your XML applications. Mastering XMI includes examples written in Java that demonstrate practical techniques for using XMI with both XML and UML. Also included is a discussion of how IBM is using XMI in its latest software development tools. The authors cover the basics first, detailing the essential XML and UML concepts that you need to know to understand XMI. In addition to XMI fundamentals, they explain how XMI works with the Model Driven Architecture (MDA), a new software development approach. After learning how XMI works, you will then learn how to: Use XMI to express your object-oriented software models in XML; Generate Java implementation classes from your models using the XMI Framework; Reverse engineer models from XML documents, DTDs, and schemas.
