Product Description
This boxed set gives experienced XML developers all the insight they need to succeed with the next generation of XML development — for the enterprise, the Web, and beyond. It brings together three of the latest titles in the Definitive XML Series, all edited by Charles F. Goldfarb, the “father of markup languages,” and priced at a savings of more than 18%. Definitive XML Schema by W3C Schema Recommendation committee member Priscilla Walmsley covers both the basics of XML Schema and state-of-the-art techniques, including two full chapters on designing schemas for maximum effectiveness. Definitive XSLT & XPath, by G. Ken Holman, the world’s leading XSLT/XPath authority, covers every facet of these new specifications, from the basics to advanced expressions, sorting, grouping, and topic maps — including brand-new XML Schema Structures and Datatypes. Definitive XML Application Development by Lars Marius Garshol, is the comprehensive software engineer’s guide to building advanced, next-generation, enterprise applications with XML technologies. Garshol combines practical insight into SAX, DOM, XSLT, and other advanced XML technologies, and example-rich coverage of XML development with both Java and Python.

The Definitive Guide to SOA: BEA AquaLogic Service Bus

April 29, 2010 by BPELforum

Product Description

The Definitive Guide to SOA: BEA AquaLogic Service Bus targets professional software developers and architects who know enterprise development, but are new to enterprise service buses (ESBs) and service–oriented architecture (SOA) development. This is the first book to cover a practical approach to SOA using the BEA AquaLogic Service Bus tool. And its written from the “source” BEA Systems AquaLogic product lead Jeff Davies.

This book provides hands–on information to developing SOA–driven applications with ESBs as central components. It also gives strategic guidance on SOA planning, web service life–cycle management, administration of an ESB, and security considerations. Author Jeff Davies is careful to cut through theory and get straight to demonstrating successful use of the product where SOA really counts.

The Definitive Guide to Berkeley DB XML

April 29, 2010 by BPELforum

Product Description

The Definitive Guide to Berkeley DB XML covers Sleepycat’s Berkeley DB XML, an open source embedded XML database. Berkeley DB XML runs on all major operating systems and has support for the most popular programming languages. The book includes tutorials and complete language references for C++, Java, Perl, Python, and PHP.

Berkeley DB XML has the potential to dramatically simplify the development of your application’s data tier. With native XML storage, flexible indexing, and the powerful XQuery query language (think SQL for XML), BDB XML provides everything you need for efficient XML management. Combined with Berkeley DB’s transactions, logging, and replication, BDB XML is a powerful document storage solution.

Author Danny Brian presents XML basics from the ground up for XML beginners, and covers database installation and configuration, the core concepts behind Berkeley DB XML, a look at application architecture, demonstrations of simple operations (i.e., text queries) to complex (i.e., set computations) using XQuery and FLWOR expressions, document indexing options, and a thorough look at the database APIs. You’ll learn tips and tricks that you can immediately apply to your own applications.

Product Description

This is the eBook version of the printed book. If the print book includes a CD-ROM, this content is not included within the eBook version.

The authoritative XML Schema reference and tutorial!

Leverage the full power of XML Schema!
In-depth coverage of the approved W3C Recommendation
Schema design—practical and thorough
Transition help for experienced DTD developers
Authoritative! By Priscilla Walmsley—a member of the W3C XML Schema Working Group

To leverage the full power of XML, companies need shared vocabularies to base their documents and scripts upon. XML Schema makes it possible to create those shared vocabularies-and Definitive XML Schema is the authoritative guide to the standard! Written by Priscilla Walmsley, a member of the W3C working group that created XML Schema, this book explains the W3C Recommendation with unprecedented insight and clarity—and introduces practical techniques for writing schemas to support any B2B, Web service, or content processing application. Coverage includes:

How XML Schema provides a rigorous, complete standard for modeling XML document structure, content, and datatypes
Working with schemas: Schema composition, instance validation, documentation, namespaces, and more
XML Schema building blocks: elements, attributes, and types
Advanced techniques: type derivation, model groups, substitution groups, identity constraints, redefinition, and much more
An in-depth primer on effective schema design, including naming, document structure, and extensibility considerations
Transition guidance for experienced DTD developers

Definitive XML Schema brings together expert guidance for schema design, superior approaches to schema development, and the most systematic XML Schema reference on the market. Whether you’re a developer, architect, or content specialist, it’s the only XML Schema resource you need!

“XML Schema is an incredibly powerful-and complex-document schema language, with such new capabilities as strong typing, modularity, inheritance, and identity constraints. This book guides you through the complexity so you can confidently use that power for your own projects.”

—Charles F. Goldfarb
