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.

XML Schema Essentials
Replacing XML DTDs (Document Type Definitions) as the way in which XML documents are described and validated, XML Schema allows you to describe the structure of information in an XML document and is essential for ensuring the accuracy and security of information in B2B transactions and other XML applications. Since XML Schema defines a greater and more complex set of datatypes than XML DTDs such as numbers, dates, times, and currencies -- it is an invaluable tool for e-commerce applications. XML Schema also offers more flexibility than XML DTDs, with its ability to have users define datatypes for data (for example, an "address" can be further refined as a "postal address," "billing address," or "shipping address") and its ability to validated documents based on namespaces, which allow for the disctinction between identical terms being used in different contexts. This guide uses extensive examples and source code to profide you with information.

XML Web Services
Written for business and technical professionals, this book reveals the true value of XML for distributed information systems, explaining how it is transforming the way organizations manage data and build software systems, and the opportunities it offers for those organizations that understand its significance and impact. This book places XML at the heart of a paradigm shift that is bridging the gap between traditional tightly coupled proprietary networks (DCOM, CORBA) and the dynamic, loosely-coupled, data-driven Web. The author explains how XML's simple rules for defining data vocabularies and protocols have opened up new possibilities for server to server interaction in the form of Web services for dynamic discovery and interaction. He goes on to discuss how frameworks such as .NET and J2EE provide important messaging, transaction, and security services for leveraging Web services in enterprise computing.

Ajax Training
Ajax (Asynchronous Java and XML) has emerged as a powerful platform for building web applications with extensive client-side interactivity. Unlike older approaches, which require reloading of the entire page with every postback, Ajax uses the JavaScript DOM, the XMLHttpRequest object, XML, and CSS to download and display just the content that needs to change. All Accelebrate courses are taught exclusively on-site at their clients' locations worldwide for groups of 3 or more attendees and are customized to their specific needs. All attendees should be fluent in HTML and CSS, and have extensive experience with JavaScript. Prior experience with XSL is not presumed. Training includes: The four defining principles of Ajax; Ajax rich clients in the real world; The key elements of Ajax; Loading data asynchronously using XML technologies; Third-party libraries and frameworks; Working with the server side; Security and performance with Ajax.
