Programming the Web Using XML by Ellen Pearlman and Eileen Mullin, part of our Web Developer Series, is designed to help those who have a background in HTML make the transition to XML, is designed to ensure that those who are new to Web design get the best introduction possible into developing sites in XML. The student does not need a programming background to begin to grasp the concepts and uses of XML, although they do need to understand how to navigate and use the Web. The book begins with a comparison of HTML, XHTML, and XML, and includes real-life examples of how XML is being used today to help readers appreciate the power of XML. It also provides a comprehensive coverage of the rules and standards for XML, which is very critical in programming XML. After completing this book, users will have received a comprehensive foundation to the rules and standards of XML syntax, complete with a series of lessons that walked them through the process of creating XML documents and related files.
