Description

For XML programming courses and Internet/Web programming courses focusing on XML in Computer Science, Computer Information Systems, Management Information Systems, Information Technology, and Business Departments.

This new book in the Deitels'How to Program series is a comprehensive guide to programming in XML. It teaches students how to use XML to create customized tags and includes several chapters that address standard custom markup languages for science and technology, multimedia, commerce, and other fields. The authors include a concise introduction to Java, providing students with the essentials of this programming language to enable them to work effectively with XML. The book also includes cutting edge topics such as XQL, SMIL and VoiceXML as well as a real-world e-Commerce case study. A complete chapter on Web-accessibility that addresses VoiceXML is also included.
