XML : BooksDelphi Developer's Guide to XML
Designed for the Delphi developer who wants to learn about XML, Delphi Developer's Guide to XML covers all aspects of utilizing the power of XML through the Delphi environment. This book provides a solid introduction to the technologies that make up XML and its related specifications. In-depth coverage of the Document Object Model (DOM) includes investigation of the basic specification and three implementations: Microsoft's DOM, CUESoft's DOM, and Open XML's DOM. Similarly, both Microsoft's version and a native Delphi implementation are described for the Simple API for XML (SAX). Generating XML documents is detailed using simple text, Delphi's Web modules and XMLBroker, each of the DOMs, and SAX. Developing applications that make use of XML is also covered, including XSLT and SOAP examples. The CD includes the relevant specifications regarding XML, along with all the code from the book and various XML tools.

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.

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.

Learn XML Tips
Extensible Markup Language (XML) is a design language that permits the user to develop a customized markup language for a unique document, whether it is text or data. As the use of XML becomes more widespread, a comprehensive guide to its features is needed. George Doss provides such a reference with Learn XML Tips. This book uses the frequently asked questions (FAQ) format to provide concise answers about a range of subjects, including designing an XML DTD, dialects, processing, and the implications of using XML with Internet Explorer 5.0. The appendices include a glossary, the XML production rules, and the differences between XML and SGML, and XML and HTML. Uses over 600 questions and answers to highlight the concepts and techniques of using XML, SGML and HTML. For introductory to intermediate level XML programmers. The companion CD contains Extensibility Inc.'s Turbo XML, which includes XML Authority, XML Instance, and XML Console.

Presenting XML
Unlike many other authors, Richard Light doesn't assume that his readers embrace the new technology he describes -- in this case, XML. At the start, he answers the question of why XML is even necessary. Presenting XML provides information in usable chunks, allowing the reader to easily scan the subchapter titles. Geared toward the user somewhat familiar with the tenets of web design, Presenting XML includes information about basic HTML concepts such as entities and attributes and explains the best means of converting existing HTML to XML. Light later delves into creating XML applications. Presenting XML is comprehensive, full of resources and examples, and contains a well-documented index. For anyone wanting the whole story on XML, this book runs the gauntlet from introductory tutorial to trusted reference guide. Designed to provide a simplified version of SGML, XML may be the future of the web because it allows tags to be used as needed.
