About this title

Synopsis

Appropriate for all courses in XML, as well as courses in Web development or content management utilizing XML technologies.

XML-related standards, specifications, techniques, and products continue to evolve rapidly, and with each passing year, XML applications become more widespread, diverse, and important. Now, Charles F. Goldfarb has updated his definitive, best-selling XML guidebook to help students understand every key XML concept and every significant new innovation. Charles F. Goldfarb's XML Handbook, Fifth Edition is accessible enough for students encountering XML for the first time, and thorough and accurate enough for students with advanced expertise in XML, programming, or content management. This edition adds new and expanded coverage of SOAP 1.2-based Web services and the evolving Topic Maps standard, each with a start-to-finish case study. It contains up-to-the-minute coverage of today's increasingly popular "server-based publishing" techniques. It provides brand-new coverage of desktop XML, including the breakthrough XML support in Microsoft Office 2003 and InfoPath, Microsoft's XML-based electronic forms tool. Goldfarb introduces every significant XML standard and specification, including XSL, XSLT, Xpath, Xlink, Xpointer, XML Query, XML Schema Structures and Datatypes, and more. Through practical case studies, he shows how XML is revolutionizing both e-businesses and "bricks-and-mortar" businesses, simplifying supply chain integration, portal and "digital dashboard" development, promoting trading exchanges, improving Web site management, and enabling many other new applications. This edition also includes two CD-ROMs containing more than 175 hand-picked XML software and trialware packages. It represents the best single XML information source for every student interested in XML: programmers, Web content creators, technical and marketing communicators, business students, and many others.
