XML Programming (Core Reference) - Hardcover

Extensible Markup Language (XML) is a key component of the next generation of Web-based applications and the Microsoft .NET platform. "Inside XML" is the best place to find detailed instructions and insights on how to take advantage of XML and the Microsoft Visual Studio "RM" development environment to create extensible, end-to-end applications. Taking an architectural approach, the book carefully describes the XML hooks to be found in the next generation of Visual Studio and the .NET platform. The book also helps developers understand XML components in the context of Microsoft's other technologies such as Microsoft SQL Server "TM" 2000 and BizTalk "TM" Server 2000, and it demonstrates in steps how to convert a traditional client/server application to an XML-based application. The authors, who are well known for their other books, columns, and technical seminars, offer the right combination of real-world experience and seminar-tested teaching to make this the ideal resource for any developer who wants to make maximum use of Visual Studio and other XML-enabled development tools.
