Synopsis
by
John E. Simpson
If you're a developer who works primarily with Microsoft products and needs
to get a quick leg up on how to handle the
Extensible Markup Language
(XML),
Applied XML
is a great place to start. Although the authors give some
attention to cross-platform Java and JavaScript, by far most of their emphasis
is on using Microsoft technologies
-- Internet Explorer, VBScript, and Visual
Basic -- to process data based on XML and related standards. The book
comprises three main parts (a total of 15 chapters), entitled "XML-A
Panoramic View," "XML Document Object Model (DOM)," and "Presenting
XSL-The XML Stylesheet Language."
The style is informal, not at all dry, and
plenty of code samples,
screen shots, tables, and graphics help illustrate the
authors' key points.
