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.
