Product Description

This thoroughly class tested text and online tutorial gives a complete introduction to the essentials of the XML standard. It will teach students how to apply web technologies to develop XML based web applications. Through the book, the student will build applications that work together to construct interesting and workable web applications.

From the Back Cover

"A superb summary of the main Web technologies. It is broad and deep, giving you enough detail to get real work done. Eminently readable with excellent examples and touches of humour. This book is a gem." – Prof. Philip Wadler, Edinburgh University.

“A unique, detailed, and technically sophisticated introduction to current XML and Web technologies” – Jan Chomicki, Buffalo University.

The evolution of the World Wide Web has been staggering. To support the ever-increasing demands we make on the Web’s capabilities, there has been an explosion of technologies, protocols and standards that all promise to make the Web Developer's life easier, such as XML, XML Schema, XSLT, XQuery, JDOM, Servlets, JSP, SOAP, WSDL and UDDI.

In An Introduction to XML and Web Technologies, Anders Møller and Michael Schwartzbach expertly decipher this alphabet soup of Web technologies. They lucidly describe the technical features of each standard, compare closely related technologies and show how to implement them in various application scenarios. Part One of this book covers the key XML schema and transformation languages and explains how XML can co-exist with general purpose programming languages. Part Two describes technologies for building Web servers and the standards for defining, publishing and connecting to Web services. This book is essential reading for students on Web development or XML courses, as well as practitioners seeking to improve their insight into this exciting subject area.

Features

·        Covers the most important XML and Web technologies in a concise and easy to understand fashion.
·        Examples throughout and exercises at the end of every chapter to maximize understanding.
·        Introduces cutting edge research developments.
·        Comprehensive lists of online resources and further reading to aid development in each area.
·        Outstanding supporting material available at the accompanying website: http://www.brics.dk/ixwt/

Anders Møller and Michael Schwartzbach both teach at the prestigious BRICS research center at the University of Aarhus.

5.0 out of 5 stars The only book you'll ever need for XML technlogies, 1 Aug 2006

By	Dr. Roger POWELL "Lecturer (control and web s... (England) - See all my reviews (REAL NAME)

I am not one to eulogise books but this one is worth blowing a trumpet about! Having taught XML Technologies at a well known UK university for three years at masters and final year undergraduate level, I have searched for a decent, comprehensive text book that covers all the bases in a readable and technical way. XML by itself, as we all know, is nothing special. But with technologies such as XSD, XSLT, XPath and XQuery (to name a few) it becomes a sophisticated programming paradigm. It really takes off when you glue it together with Java APIs and web services. This book shares that vision with considerable enthusiasm.

After reading a large number of books, this is the first time I've come across one that combines technical depth with absolute clarity. It takes you on a journey through the most important technologies including the latest XQuery, XPath 2.0 and XSLT 2.0, through Java/XML programming using the DOM API, SAX, JAXB and on to cover (perhaps) lesser known languages like STX and XDuce all the way up to web services including XMLRPC, SOAP, WSDL, WS-* and UDDI. It covers servlets, JSP, security, etc. etc. What this book hasn't got (with the possible exception of SOA and ESB) isn't worth bothering about.

The book is also packed with worked examples (I haven't accessed the stuff on their web-site yet) but the main thing that stands out about this book for me is that it's not just a reformatted download of W3C standard as so many are, it doesn't read like a software manual, it's a real text book in the old-fashioned sense. It's written by people who actually teach as a profession and have an authoritative grasp and rich experience of their material.

If you want to learn, buy a book from someone who wants to teach. If you want to learn about XML and Web Technologies -- buy this book!

5.0 out of 5 stars The first (and only?) clear, concise, deep, scientific account of the stuff..., 25 Aug 2006

By	Hassan Ait-kaci "-hak" (Surrey, BC, Canada) - See all my reviews (REAL NAME)

Dear Anders and Michael,

I recently purchased your book entitled "An Introduction to XML and Web Technologies". I started reading it and I must say that you have done a wonderful job. It reads with ease and your presentation style is as limpid as pure mountain water. I particularly enjoy the fact that you are doing a masterful and in-depth tutorial of several of the recent outputs of the W3C's language mill without losing your critical mind and making accurate remarks for several annoying idiosyncrasies owing their existence more to historical and political reasons rather than simple efficient scientific design.

At any rate, I congratulate you on an excellent book and look forward to reading more of your didactic and scientific publications.

It would be very interesting to envisage a book in the style of yours on the so-called Semantic Web. I, for one, as ILOG's current Principal rep in the W3C Rule Interchange Format WG, would welcome your critical eye and approach to this vast and unchartered domain.

Thanks again for writing this book. I will definitely recommend it as an effective and concise reference to the subject to anyone - whether newbie or old-timer.

5.0 out of 5 stars Well written and concise , 8 Nov 2008

By	Christian K. Johnsen (London) - See all my reviews (REAL NAME)

A quality book! I want to thank the authors for writing such a well worked trough book. Much of it has been University level class book material for several terms and you can just sense how the quality have been worked into the book for each iteration it has been taught.

IXWT covers a lot of ground in a fantastically well written and concise style that makes no assumptions to any previous knowledge in the field, yet never dumbs the subject matter down. It respects the time you devote to reading it and helps you learn exactly what you need in the 3-letter-acronym-jungle. A very concise, thorough and uncluttered introduction to XML web technologies that I recommend.

thanks again for writing such a good book :-) !
