Are you looking for a serious, intensely technical book on XML? XML for Real Programmers provides detailed instruction in the all techniques you need to master to build XML applications for any Web enterprise. Inside, the author begins with incisive introductions to the entire family of XML technologies. Then, building on this foundation, he guides you step by step through the development of three sample applications that together form a complete, cohesive e-commerce site: A reusable XML framework, adaptable to a wide variety of "document factory" Web applications and complemented by key business objects: an Account class, a Catalog class, and a ShoppingBasket class. A Java-based servlet responsible for all aspects of XSL transformation, including external stylesheets, conditional processing, flow-control, dynamically created attribute nodes for parent elements, and template invocation. An order processing application designed to accept and process data structured by a wide range of DTDs. Features: * Offers in-depth coverage of the essential members of the XML family-DOM, XSL, Xlink and Xpointer-including specification-level analysis and explanation.
* Teaches by example, developing in detail three XML applications and showing how they function together as a single, integrated e-commerce site. * Focuses heavily on Java and how it is especially well suited to building and deploying XML applications. * Concludes with a chapter focusing on the future of XML, other emerging specifications, and the needs of Web-based enterprise. * On the CD, provides all the book's sample code, plus IBM Visual Age, IBM XML parser, and Java Tutorial by MindQ.
