Effective XML: 50 Specific Ways to Improve Your XML (Effective Software Development) |
|
|
 Description
Learning the fundamentals of XML might take a programmer a week. Learning how to use XML effectively might take a lifetime. While many books have been written that teach developers how to use the basic syntax of XML, this is the first one that really focuses on how to use XML well. This book is not a tutorial. It is not going to teach you what a tag is or how to write a DTD (Document Type Definition).
Instead it's going to tell you when, why, where, and how to use such
tools effectively (and equally important when not to use them).Since
XML has become a fundamental underpinning of new software systems, it
becomes important to ask new questions, not just what XML is, but how
does one use it effectively? Which techniques work and which don't?
Perhaps most importantly, which techniques appear to work at first but
fail to scale as systems are further developed? This book answers these
questions. It is not enough to write programs that compile and produce
the expected results. It is important to write code that is extensible,
legible, and maintainable. XML can be used to produce robust,
extensible, maintainable systems.
