Praise for Elliotte Rusty Harold's Processing XML with Java TM "The sophistication and language are very appropriate for Java and XML application developers. You can tell by the way the author writes that he too is a developer. He delves very deeply into the topics and has really taken things apart and investigated how they work. I especially like his coverage of 'gotchas,' pitfalls, and limitations of the technologies." - John Wegis , Web Engineer, Sun Microsystems, Inc. "Elliotte has written an excellent book on XML that covers a lot of ground and introduces current and emerging technologies. He helps the novice programmer understand the concepts and principles of XML and related technologies, while covering the material at a level that's deep enough for the advanced developer. With a broad coverage of XML technologies, lots of little hints, and information I haven't seen in any other book on the topic, this work has become a valuable addition to my technical library." - Robert W. Husted , Member, Technical Staff, Requisite Technology, Inc. "The code examples are well structured and easy to follow. They provide real value for someone writing industrial-strength Java and XML applications. The time saved will repay the cost of this book a hundred times over. "The book also contains more of the pearls of wisdom we've come to expect from Elliotte Rusty Harold-the kind of pointers that will save developers weeks, if not months, of time." - Ron Weber , Independent Software Consultant Written for Java programmers who want to integrate XML into their systems, this practical, comprehensive guide and reference shows how to process XML documents with the Java programming language. It leads experienced Java developers beyond the basics of XML, allowing them to design sophisticated XML applications and parse complicated documents. Processing XML with JavaTM provides a brief review of XML fundamentals, including XML syntax; DTDs, schemas, and validity; stylesheets; and the XML protocols XML-RPC, SOAP, and RSS. The core of the book comprises in-depth discussions on the key XML APIs Java programmers must use to create and manipulate XML files with Java. These include the Simple API for XML (SAX), the Document Object Model (DOM), and JDOM (a Java native API). In addition, the book covers many useful supplements to these core APIs, including XPath, XSLT, TrAX, and JAXP. Practical in focus, Processing XML with JavaTM is filled with over two hundred examples that ...

Third Flatiron Anthologies presents "Master Minds," a new collection of science fiction/fantasy/horror short stories that consider the different meanings of intelligence.It's Question Time: What is intelligence, anyway? Who has it? Who wants it? Can humans recognize it in other species? Come the Singularity, will humans survive? Is survival only for the fittest? What will newly sentient creations want to do first? Can we love machines, and can they love us back? Could the 'Mozart effect' of music transform us? Are the super-intelligent more likely to be tormented by issues like happiness and the meaning of life?New and established speculative fiction writers offer a mind-boosting exploration of sentience and sapience. Contributors include Cherith Baldry, Lela E. Buis, Martin Clark, Ellen Denton, Robin Wyatt Dunn, William Huggins, Elliotte Rusty Harold, Jason Lairamore, Vince Liberato, Patrick McCarty, Russell Nichols, Konstantine Paradias, and NM Whitley.

PLEASE PROVIDE SUMMARY

Introduces the basic rules of XML syntax for document markup, the details of document type definition (DTD) creation, and the APIs used to read and write XML documents in a variety of programming languages. A series of quick-reference chapters lists syntax rules for XPath, XSLT, SAX, and DOM. c. Book News Inc.

& Critical rules of thumb employed by the experts - the things they almost always do or almost always avoid doing - to get the most out of XML. & & Drawing on years of experience, Harold explains 50 ways to use XML to produce code that is extensible, legible, and maintainable. & & The latest addition to Scott Meyers' Effective Software Development Series.
