Programming Books

Through this book, developers will learn how to work quickly and efficiently with the Oracle XML Developer Kit (XDK 11g). This kit offers a set of components, tools, and utilities for developing XML-based applications. This book shows how to create,format, compare and store XML documents. Developers will be taught how to construct an XML schema and use the schema to validate an XML document. They will be able to convert XML to Excel and PDF formats, store XML in Oracle Berkeley DB XML, and create Oracle XML Publisher Reports. The users will gain an understanding of JAXP, XPath, XSLT, JAXB 2.0, DOM 3.0, and the JSTL XML Tag Library through this book. Java developers wanting to work with XML documents using JDeveloper 11g will find this book useful.

Key sections: - What Is a Web Service? - Web Service Related Technologies - What Is SOAP? - SOAP Communication Example - SOAP Message Structure - SOAP Fault Message - SOAP Protocol Binding - SOAP Distributed Processing Model - SOAP Features - SOAP Modules - What Is SOAP Data Model? - What Is SOAP Encoding? - Multiple References and Circular Referencces

This book is a collection of notes and sample codes I wrote while I was learning XSL-FO and XHTML. Topics include CSS, XHTML, XSL-FO, XSLT, FOP, PDF generation, etc.

This book is a collection of notes I wrote while I was learning eXtensible Markup Language (XML) and other related technologies: CSS: Cascading Style Sheet DOM: Document Object Model DTD: Document Type Definition SAX: Simple API for XML XHTML: eXtensible HTML XML: eXtensible Markup Language XQL: XML Query language XSD: XML Schema Definition XSL: eXtensible Style Language XSLT: XSL Transformation

E-business is driving the merging of web, IT and object technologies to form the foundations of a new architecture, Web Services. This classic Wrox compendium covers the broad spectrum of XML based technologies that will be used in Web Services and is for anyone involved in developing commercial business-oriented distributed applications. Topics covered: This book covers: The architecture of Web Services - past, present, and future; Detailed explanation of SOAP 1.1; An overview of SOAP 1.2 and XML Protocol; IBM's Web Services Toolkit and Microsoft's SOAP toolkit 2.0; Other SOAP implementations in Perl, C++, and PHP; Java Web Services with Apache SOAP; WSDL 1.1, UDDI 1.0, and 2.0; Creating and deploying Web Services using .Net; Building Web Services using Python; and Applying security at both transport and application levels.

Professional XML Schemas exhaustively details the W3C XML Schema language, and teaches the new syntax in an intuitive and logical way. From declaring elements and attributes, creating complex content models and working with multiple namespaces, you'll move on to see how XML Schemas are used in real-world situations. A number of practical case studies will illustrate the design and creation of schemas in the diverse worlds of relational databases, document management, and e-commerce applications.

Professional XML Meta Data takes a look at some of the initiatives at the bleeding edge of the XML meta data world. In this book you will see how schemas, topic maps, RDF, and inferencing can be put to use in the field of data description, discovery, and exchange.

XML by Example teaches Web developers to make the most of XML with short, self-contained examples every step of the way. The book presumes knowledge of HTML, the Web, Web scripting, and covers such topics as: Document Type Definitions, Namespaces, Parser Debugging, XSL (Extensible Stylesheet Language), and DOM and SAX APIs. At the end, developers will review the concepts taught in the book by building a full, real-world e-commerce application.

A serious look at how to use XML in sophisticated real-world Web applications, Professional XML goes beyond your run-of-the-mill tutorial by giving you practical examples and techniques. The book focuses on W3C XML and the various enabling technologies that are becoming entwined with XML. It provides three threads of content, representing the different angles from which readers will approach XML. The first covers the core material, including well-formed syntax, data modeling, and the Document Object Model (DOM)--a critical programming interface to XML documents. The other two threads cover the most common usages of XML: as a data format and transport mechanism, and as a visual presentation language for human interaction.

This book takes you step by step through everything you need to know to put XML to work, from the fundamentals of the XML language to document construction and simple XML-based solutions for specialized markup problems. Numerous examples, specifications, and addresses for relevant Web sites leave no questions unanswered. Topics covered: XML background, example XML applications, type definitions (DTDs), style languages, Xlinks, Xpointers, Namespaces, application planning, and XML 1.0 specification.

The XML Pocket Reference is both a handy introduction to XML terminology and syntax, and a quick reference to XML instructions, attributes, entities, and datatypes. It also covers XSL (Extensible Stylesheet Language), necessary to ensure that your XML documents have a consistent look and feel across platforms. Although XML itself is complex, its basic concepts are simple. This small book acts both as a perfect tutorial for learning the basics of XML, and as a reference to the XML and XSL specifications.
