Description

XML is a mark up language which allows you to define your own tags, and to define data rather than format it. The overall concepts of XML are quite well understood but there is little information available about issues of developing applications using XML. By considering the decisions to be made at various stages of a project, via the Centaur case study, this book will help readers understand the various aspects of XML and its related technologies. It stresses the benefits of XML in informational systems, where it can be used to separate content from presentation, and in transactional systems, where it can act as a low-cost alternative to EDI protocols.

A relentlessly practical, and therefore unique, XML publication, Professional Design and Implementation is for all web developers who are familiar with ASP and HTML and who now want to use XML to develop web applications.
