“HTML documents made the Web the world's library. Now XML data is making the Web the world's commercial and financial hub. This book shows you how to benefit from this explosion of e-commerce activity.” Charles F. Goldfarb

Profit from XML! The real-world guide to building XML E-commerce apps.

E-commerce is exploding into a multi-billion dollar marketplace ― and the key enabling technology for many of tomorrow's hottest sites will be XML, with its unprecedented structure, manageability and flexibility.

XML by Example: Building E-Commerce Applications demonstrates XML's powerful E-commerce capabilities by walking you through the construction of a real-world catalog application-start to finish. Along the way, you'll learn virtually every key technique for building XML-based E-commerce sites:

  • Creating, structuring, parsing, displaying, linking, storing and scripting XML documents.
  • Developing client-side and server-side applications.
  • Streamlining site development with advanced XML tools.
  • Capturing hypertext relationships with XLL.
  • Adding presentation information with XSL stylesheets and more.

You'll understand the key roles of the Document Object Model (DOM)-and see how XML is already succeeding in advanced commerce applications such as the Open Trading Protocol and the Open Financial Exchange.

The CD-ROM includes an extraordinary collection of XML E-commerce development tools, including; Microstar's XML Parser Alfred, Allaire's Cold Fusion Evaluation Edition, WebMethod's Web Automation Toolkit, the Amaya Web browser, the MultiDoc Pro SGML/ XML viewer, and James Clark's world-class XML/SGML tools.

E-commerce is the “killer app” for XML-and XML technology will help E-commerce come of age. With XML by Example: Building E-Commerce Applications, you'll be among the first to master XML E-commerce development. Get this book-and get ahead of the game!
