XML : Books.NET and XML
.NET & XML starts by introducing XML and the .NET Framework, and then teaches you how to read and write XML before moving on to complex methods for manipulating, navigating, transforming, and constraining it. To demonstrate the power of XML in .NET, author Niel Bornstein builds a simple hardware store inventory system throughout the book. As you move from chapter to chapter, you'll absorb increasingly complex information until you have enough knowledge to successfully program your own XML-based applications. This tutorial also contains a quick reference to the API, plus appendices present additional .NET assemblies that you can use to work with XML, and how to work with the .NET XML configuration file format. If you're seeking ways to build network-based applications or XML-based web services, Microsoft provides most of the tools you'll need. XML is integrated into the .NET Framework and Visual Studio .NET.

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.

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.

XML
This issue of the prestigious, quarterly Journal includes reports from the World Wide Web Consortium, which is encouraging adoption of XML as either a replacement or supplement to HTML. Papers range over XML, HTML-math, the document object model, XML and cascading style sheets, a chemical markup language, medical records in XML, and much more. While the articles are technical, they are very clearly written and easy to understand, and this diversity of viewpoints will not be available anywhere else. For all academic collections. With article titles like "The Web Is Ruined and I Ruined It" (a rumination on "HTML terrorism"), Dan Connolly has assembled an amusing and well-paced commentary on XML. XML: Principles, Tools, and Techniques is not strictly a tutorial.

XML Design and Implementation
XML is a mark up language which allows you to define your own tags, and to define data rather than format it. The overall concepts of XML are quite well understood but there is little information available about issues of developing applications using XML. By considering the decisions to be made at various stages of the project, it will help readers understand the various aspects of XML and its related technologies. It will stress the benefits of XML in informational systems, where it can be used to separate content from presentation, and in transactional systems, where it can act as a low-cost alternative to EDI protocols. In Professional XML Design and Implementation, author Paul Spencer teaches readers XML through a combination of traditional tutorial and practical applications. Aimed at HTML coders, this book covers Extensible Markup Language (XML) implementation using Microsoft Internet Explorer 5 and Active Server Pages.
