About the Book

XML is taking off like a rocket, transforming Web publishing, e-Commerce, and database applications alike. Now, Charles Goldfarb and Paul Prescod have updated their definitive, best-selling XML introduction to reflect today's latest products, applications, standards, and trends.

Discover how XML is revolutionizing both e-businesses and "bricks-and-mortar" businesses, simplifying the development of enterprise application integration, supply chain integration, portals, "digital dashboards," trading exchanges, and many other new applications. Review the latest XML-related standards and specifications, including XSL, Xlink, Xpointer, schemas, Xpath and XSL Transformation; and understand the role of XML in middleware.
