Editorial Review Product Description This book takes the reader from the architecture of .NET to real-world techniques they can use in their own Internet applications.The reader is introduced to .NET and Web Services and explores (in detail) issues surrounding the fielding of successful Web Services.Practical guidelines as well as solutions are provided that the rader may use in their own projects.Some of the issues involve lack of specific guidance in the SOAP specification, while others transcend SOAP and involve issues Internet developers have grappled with since the inception of the World Wide Web.At this time, this book has no competition. Customer Reviews (3)
Great book on .NET and SOAP I read the two other reviews and I don't understand why the readers are complaining. SOAP is one way to do Web Services and is the only thing that the authors talk about in the entire book. Perhaps this reader has a problem with the fact that, for the most part, SOAP == Web Services? As for the horrible waste of time review, I again think that the person didn't really look at the book. This is the best book I have seen to date which describes how to mold your SOAP messages, write custom attributes, etc. These guys explain pretty well what SOAP is for. Better for Web Page scraping? I think that reviewer simply picked up a copy in a book store, read 2 pages, and that's it.
Good book, title could use some work Overall the book covered a broad set of topics and showed some good example code. If you're new to web services and soap, and you plan on using .net, this book will get you good coverage in a small amount of time. If you don't intend to use .net, there are still some interesting topics, but the sample code won't help much.
horrible waste of time Well, then there is a quote, where the author blankly asserts that posts are more useful then gets. I'm familiar with the debate about the pros and cons. But, an author just asserting one is better and putting as a reason 'trust me, baby, I'm smart', is just so pretentious. To put it plain from flipping around in the book, I didn't find any good information, and the author just disgusted me with his way of writing and assertions. This is a total utter waste of time and money. ... Read more |

Editorial Review Product Description Fuzzy Database Modeling with XML aims to provide a single record of current research and practical applications in the fuzzy databases. This volume is the outgrowth of research the author has conducted in recent years. Fuzzy Database Modeling with XML introduces state-of-the-art information to the database research, while at the same time serving the information technology professional faced with a non-traditional application that defeats conventional approaches. The research on fuzzy conceptual models and fuzzy object-oriented databases is receiving increasing attention, in addition to fuzzy relational database models. With rapid advances in network and internet techniques as well, the databases have been applied under the environment of distributed information systems. It is essential in this case to integrate multiple fuzzy database systems. Since databases are commonly employed to store and manipulate XML data, additional requirements are necessary to model fuzzy information with XML. Secondly, this book maps fuzzy XML model to the fuzzy databases. Very few efforts at investigating these issues have thus far occurred. Fuzzy Database Modeling with XML is designed for a professional audience of researchers and practitioners in industry. This book is also suitable for graduate-level students in computer science. |

Lots of stuff - that's it
Not organized, badly explained, incomplete CD Please refer to <
I liked this book The only thing that I did not like in the book was that the book seems to be little bit out of pace in keeping touch with the advances in XML technology. It does cover the various (advanced) kind of technolgy where it (XML) can be used but for topics like Schema, CSS1/CSS2 or XSL it is not quite in touch. I think it was written in Sep'99 and quite often mentions "as of this writing...". Things have changed pretty much after that, related to XML and would have been better if included. But such things aren't very important from understanding XML, fundamentally. So I would indeed recommend the book but would not give 5 stars due to this hitch. Moreover I haven't read other books on XML and I guess, this book would suffice for some more time (atleast for me). ps: I found the style of writing in this book very impressive which makes the subject quite interesting. The examples are selected equally well as well.
The most thorough and valuable resource on the subject If you have already gonethrough an indroduction...then there is no better public resource(online, offline, and even many instructors) for learning so muchabout XML technologies and in so much detail.Mr.Morrison thinksahead of the times by covering ideas that are sure to evolve into themainstream (such as out-of-line links and contextual search engines)while rarely failing to mention the status of the technology with theW3C, supporting software, and links where to learn or download more.He covers existing and create-your-own markup languages to a muchgreater degree than the "XML Bible" which was the other bookI considered buying. The software on the CD-ROM is useful, but manyare demo downloads, and the CD-ROM could have had more examples and"Get started practices for each chapter.
Thick book of information, disjointed and rambling. As an exampleof how difficult this book is to use as an XML reference, I dug and finallyfound in one of chapter 2's paragraphs a discussion of the '?' and '+'cardinality operators.However, for some reason the third operator '*' hadto wait for chapter 3.Their descriptions were incomplete if not downright wrong and the term "cardinality operator" appears nowherein the entire book.For example the description for '*' says it is used"to indicate that the entire choice group is optional."Thisdescription most closely matches the '?' operator.With '*' the group isallowed to appear zero or more times.The In contrast in Wrox's"Professional XML" all three operators are included prominentlyin a box with a description of each. The material in this book would havebeen much more useful if the author and editor would have taken adequatetime to better organize it.

Best Book Ever if you want to truly learn XSLT and XPATH
Excellent XSLT reference!
Poor Editing, Poor Examples In some sections, the same paragraph is repeated verbatim 2 or even 3 times. Often in the chapter overview, and then on the next page in the first chapter section. Possibly the book appeals to other learning styles better, but I've found it a tough slog. In fairness though, XSLT is a strange and difficult beast- I may be transferring some of my frustration on to the messenger! However, in general, I find the examples are too repetive, causing them to blur together. And you find myself flipping back as many as 6 pages at times to find the xml code the description is talking about. And there is a lack of technical illustrations to help with more difficult topics. I would have appreciate larger examples from different domains to specific goals. The problem with a lot of the examples is the purposelessness of the examples. XML in a Nutshell, and Michael Kay's XLST reference have provided me much more joy. My last word of advice- follow the examples live. XSLT and XPath need practice, and lots of it.
Examples are laden with errors 1.1 (string not quoted) The rest of the chapter examples are similar to this one.
Not too many good examples, but a decent reference |

Editorial Review Product Description Professional XML Schemas exhaustively details the W3C XML Schema language, and teaches the new syntax in an intuitive and logical way. From declaring elements and attributes, creating complex content models, and working with multiple namespaces, you'll move on to see how XML Schemas are used in real-world situations. A number of practical case studies will illustrate the design and creation of schemas in the diverse worlds of relational databases, document management, and e-commerce applications. This book covers: The range of topics presented here helps make this title a success. While there is some leading-edge (and somewhat obscure) material on emerging topics in XML Schemas, much of the book avoids XML "language lawyering" and concentrates on delivering a solid tour of the basics. The authors walk before they run, taking the reader along with basic XML Schema constructs to define simple data types in XML. They show off elements, attributes, and simple data types. (There's coverage of the full complement of over two dozen built-in XML Schema data types for numerical, string, date, and IDREFs.) The earlier sections include the author's own sample classes for a handful of common data types for such common entities as people's names, countries, IP addresses and URIs, plus geographical locations. Fully internationalized, these samples can serve as a basis for entities in your custom projects. The second half of the book digs into design strategies at a higher level, dealing more with XML Schemas. The authors cover several reusable design strategies for creating workable XML Schemas (like the Russian Doll, the Slice, and finally the Venetian Blind model, which blends the first two). There's discussion of the best ways to express required and optional elements, along with choice values and ordering of required elements. Integration with XML namespaces and a discussion of the issues surrounding reuse in XML Schemas (like combining and extending existing datatypes) show how powerful this standard really is. Valuable chapters on using XML Schemas with databases (including expressing relational integrity and normalization), plus the differences between XML Schemas used for document management will help you make the right design choices in each setting. The book closes with a discussion and tour of late-breaking tools like Schematron (and its competitors) as well as the possibilities for functional programming with XML Schema in schema-based programming (SBP). Whether you are an XML novice or expert, this text will extend the range of what you can accomplish with XML Schemas, from creating more reusable datatypes to reusing existing schemas. While XML Schemas will perhaps never be as simple as using DTDs, this book succeeds at putting this new standard into reach for any working developer or designer. --Richard Dragan Customer Reviews (7)

Well overview of available products and strategies
Precisely what we needed The chapters in this book that describe how to hook up XML to those 3 vendors' databases were excellent and clear. But what we ended up doing was going with something suggested in ANOTHER chapter - building an embedded XML database. You will not see this advocated by a vendor; there is no sale for them here. Other than this book, we found it tough to get lucid explanations of the pros and cons of this route. It will take more work, but we hope it will give better performance - no interprocess communication, for one thing. Plus of course no licence fees, and easier installation and management, since we will have access/own all the source code. This was not our original intention, by any means. But the book's comparative analysis was so persuasive that we ended up taking this road. (Hopefully, it will not be a dead end.) That one chapter on embedded XML databases was, to us, the most precious thing in the entire book! ... Read more |
