    Ceponkus, Hoodbhoy - Applied XML - Toolkit for Programmers

    If you’ve never heard of computers,
    the Internet or Information Technology, then this 
    book is not for you.
    Tools You Will Need
    To get the most out of this book, we expect that you will have access to a personal 
    computer or workstation. We make no pretensions that you will learn everything by reading 
    alone—we expect you to get your hands dirty working with XML. If you are looking for web-
    based solutions, you will find that most of our solutions are tailored for Internet Explorer 5, 
    though as other browsers become XML compliant, most of our examples should work with 
    little or no modifications. From a software tools perspective, we’ve tried to include 
    everything that you will need (and more!) on the CD-ROM.
    What’s on the CD-ROM
    Our CD-ROM may well be worth the price of the book itself! We’ve packed it chock full of 
    utilities that you will find very handy for working with XML, no matter what you intend to 
    do with XML. Here’s some of the tools we include:
    •
    Copies of all our code examples
    •
    Microsoft Internet Explorer 5
    •
    IBM XML parser for Java
    •
    Link to the Sun Java parser
    •
    DataChannel Java parser
    •
    XML Spy (an XML editor)

    - 10 -
    •
    Link to Netscape’s Gecko
    •
    Links to W3C XML 1.0 Recommendations and supplemental documentation
    Concluding Thoughts
    To be honest, we wrote this book for ourselves as college students; we like books that 
    avoid fluff and get right to the point. We only buy books that help us get things done, not 
    books that look pretty on a bookshelf. And we expect you probably feel the same way 
    (why would you bother framing a book that is going to be obsolete in less than two years 
    anyway?) That XML is big is obvious. That you can use XML in a variety of situations is 
    equally obvious. We see no point in flogging those dead horses. 
    How to
    use 
    XML is not 
    as obvious. That’s what we’ve focused on throughout this book.
    Hopefully, this is the kind of information you are looking for. If it is, then welcome aboard 
    and let’s get on to making XML work for you!
