Paperback. Condition: Very Good. Scott Kelby, author of The Digital Photography Book (the best-selling digital photography book of all time), is back with another follow-up to his smash best-seller, with an entirely new book that picks up right where volume 3 left off. It's even more of that "Ah ha, so that' s how they do it," straight-to-the-point, skip-the-techno-jargon stuff people can really use today, and that made volume 1 the world's best-selling book on digital photography. This book truly has a brilliant premise, and here's how Scott describes it: "If you and I were out on a shoot and you asked me, 'Hey Scott, I want the light for this portrait to look really soft and flattering. How far back should I put this softbox?' I wouldn't give you a lecture about lighting ratios, or flash modifiers. In real life, I'd just turn to you and say, 'Move it in as close to your subject as you possibly can, without it actually showing up in the shot.' Well, that's what this book is all about: you and I out shooting where I answer questions, give you advice, and share the secrets I've learned, just like I would with a friend--without all the technical explanations and techie photo speak." Each page covers a single concept on how to make your photography better. Every time you turn the page, you'll learn another pro setting, tool, or trick to transform your work from snapshots into gallery prints. If you're tired of taking shots that look "okay," and if you're tired of looking in photography magazines and thinking, "Why don't my shots look like that?" then this is the book for you. This isn't a book of theory, full of confusing jargon and detailed concepts. This is a book on which button to push, which setting to use, and when to use it. With another 200 of the most closely guarded photographic "tricks of the trade," this book gets you shooting dramatically better-looking, sharper, more colorful, more professional-looking photos every time.

Paperback. Condition: Very Good. What is XML? XML, or eXtensible Markup Language, is a specification for storing information. It is also a specification for describing the structure of that information. And while XML is a markup language (just like HTML), XML has no tags of its own. It allows the person writing the XML to create whatever tags they need. The only condition is that these newly created tags adhere to the rules of the XML specification.In the seven years since the first edition of XML: Visual QuickStart Guide was published, XML has taken its place next to HTML as a foundational language on the Internet. XML has become a very popular method for storing data and the most popular method for transmitting data between all sorts of systems and applications. The reason being, where HTML was designed to display information, XML was designed to manage it.This book begins by showing you the basics of the XML language. Then, by building on that knowledge, additional and supporting languages and systems will be discussed. To get the most out of this book, you should be somewhat familiar with HTML, although you dont need to be an expert coder by any stretch. No other previous knowledge is required. XML: Visual QuickStart Guide, 2nd Edition is divided into seven parts. Each part contains one or more chapters with step-by-step instructions that explain how to perform XML-related tasks. Wherever possible, examples of the concepts being discussed are displayed, and the parts of the examples on which to focus are highlighted. The order of the book is intentionally designed to be an introduction to the fundamentals of XML, followed by discussions of related XML technologies. In Part 1 of the book, you will learn how to create an XML document. Its relatively straightforward, and even more so if you know a little HTML. Part 2 focuses on XSL, which is a set of languages designed to transform an XML document into something else: an HTML file, a PDF document, or another XML document. Remember, XML is designed to store and transport data, not display it. Parts 3 and 4 of the book discuss DTD and XML Schema, languages designed to define the structure of an XML document. In conjunction with XML Namespaces (Part 5), you can guarantee that XML documents conform to a pre-defined structure, whether created by you or by someone else. Part 6, Developments and Trends, details some of the up-and-coming XML-related languages, as well as a few new versions of existing languages. Finally, Part 7 identifies some well-known uses of XML in the world today; some of which you may be surprised to learn. This beginners guide to XML is broken down as follows: Introduction Chapter 1: Writing XML Part 2: XSL Chapter 2: XSLT Chapter 3: XPath Patterns and Expressions Chapter 4: XPath Functions Chapter 5: XSL-FO Part 3: DTD Chapter 6: Creating a DTD Chapter 7: Entities and Notations in DTDs Chapter 8: Validation and Using DTDs Part 4: XML Schema Chapter 9: XML Schema Basics Chapter 10: Defining Simple Types Chapter 11: Defining Complex Types Part 5: Namespaces Chapter 12: XML Namespaces Chapter 13: Using XML Namespaces Part 6: Recent W3C Recommendations Chapter 14: XSLT 2.0 Chapter 15: XPath 2.0 Chapter 16: XQuery 1.0 Part 7: XML in Practice Chapter 17: Ajax, RSS, SOAP and More.
