Beschreibung

Gebraucht - Gut Zustand: Gut, Mängelexemplar, XVIII, 555 pp. About this book: XML Programming: Web Applications and Web Services with JSP and ASP is a fast-moving introduction to XML technologies for programmers. It is designed to be useful for programmers working in a number of languages, primarily Java and VB/VBScript, but also C, C++, Python, and JavaScript. Authors Alexander Nakhimovsky and Tom Myers achieve language independence by focusing on XML and on the Web. All the examples used in the book are Web applications or Web services, and most of the code is in JSPs or ASPs that use DOM, SAX, and XSLT to generate, transform, and display XML data. Nakhimovsky and Myers introduce XSLT early and show advanced techniques for writing efficient programs and measuring program efficiency. In DOM and SAX, advanced techniques from the latest versions are revealed. The authors also work in depth with new technologies, such as XLink and XPointer, RELAX NG and Schematron, Web services, and WSDL. After an in-depth introduction to XML and programming interfaces, the book covers XSLT and XPath, XML and databases, and Web services. Nakhimovsky and Myers also develop a substantial application that supports an open-source repository of XML data for collaborative work, and show how to deploy it as a Web service. Each chapter also has exercises with solutions. Written for programmers. Bestandsnummer des Verkäufers 16246

Über diesen Titel

Inhaltsangabe:

XML Programming: Web Applications and Web Services with JSP and ASP provides a fast-moving introduction to the XML family of technologies for programmers. Although written with a focus upon JSP- and ASP-based XML solutions, the book presents the material from a language-independent point of view that benefits all developers, whatever their language. The code is written to be readable by all. Chapters 1 through 3 cover the foundations of XML-well-formed and valid documents, DTDs and namespaces-but XLink, XPointer, and elements of XSLT are introduced early so the examples can be interesting and useful. Chapters 4 through 6 cover XML processing using SAX, DOM, and XSLT, separately and in various combinations. Each chapter progresses from simple to advanced examples. Chapter 7 is devoted to the development of a real world project involving the use of various XML technologies to create an information repository. In the context of the project, the authors present RDF and the Dublin Core; revisit XPath, XLink, and XPointer; and show how XML data can live inside a relational database. Chapter 8 introduces the newer validation technologies (RELAX NG and XML Schema), in preparation for the final chapter on Web services. In the concluding chapter, the authors not only explain the specifications, but also build working examples: You're shown, step-by-step, how to convert a software module into a Web service, how to generate a WSDL description from code, how to use WSDL to generate stubs and skeletons for distributed language-independent applications, and how to register such applications with a UDDI repository, either local or on the Internet. XML Programming: Web Applications and Web Services with JSP and ASP is an indispensable resource for programmers who wish to become proficient in XML technologies and use them for solving large-scale, real-life problems.

Über die Autorin bzw. den Autor:

Tom Myers studied physics in Bogota, Colombia and Buenos Aires, Argentina before receiving his bachelor's degree from St. John's College in Santa Fe, and his Ph.D. in computer science from the University of Pennsylvania. A software developer and consultant, he has been working mostly on Java/XML projects for the past few years; some earlier research in parallelism and in functional programming languages seems to be coming back to life, within XSLT. In addition to joint publications with Alexander Nakhimovsky, he is the author of a book and several articles on theoretical computer science.
