Description
"XML in Easy Steps" is designed for new users who want to quickly get up to speed, from job seekers to programmers to hobbyists. In clear, step-by-step instructions, and with screenshots illustrating every example, it demonstrates the parts of XML that have become popular in today's real-world applications. The book begins with a description of eXtensible Markup Language (XML) along with the associated technologies of Document Type Definition (DTD), XmlSchema Documents (XSD), and the eXtensible Stylesheet Language (XSL). It then illustrates how XML can be used to create Scalable Vector Graphics (SVG), how to access XML data with JavaScript, and how to deploy XML in modern AJAX web applications. At the book's end, even the newcomer has a solid understanding of XML and can create well-formed documents and validating schemas.
