Overview
XML Programming: Web Applications and Web Services with JSP and ASP is a fast-moving introduction to XML technologies for programmers. It is designed to be useful for programmers working in a number of languages, primarily Java and VB/VBScript, but also C, C++, Python, and JavaScript. Authors Alexander Nakhimovsky and Tom Myers achieve language independence by focusing on XML and on the Web. All the examples used in the book are Web applications or Web services, and most of the code is in JSPs or ASPs that use DOM, SAX, and XSLT to generate, transform, and display XML data. Nakhimovsky and Myers introduce XSLT early and show advanced techniques for writing efficient programs and measuring program efficiency. In DOM and SAX, advanced techniques from the latest versions are revealed. The authors also work in depth with new technologies, such as XLink and XPointer, RELAX NG and Schematron, Web services, and WSDL. After an in-depth introduction to XML and programming interfaces, the book covers XSLT and XPath, XML and databases, and Web services. Nakhimovsky and Myers also develop a substantial application that supports an open-source repository of XML data for collaborative work, and show how to deploy it as a Web service. Each chapter also has exercises with solutions.

Author Information
Alexander Nakhimovsky received an MA in mathematics from Leningrad University (1972) and a Ph. D. in Linguistics from Cornell (1979) with a graduate minor in Computer Science. He has been teaching computer science at Colgate University since 1985. In addition to joint publications with Tom Myers, he is the author of books and articles on linguistics and Artificial Intelligence - the foundational concepts of the Semantic Web. Tom Myers studied physics in Bogota and Buenos Aires before receiving his BA from St. John's College, Santa Fe (1975) and a Ph.D. in Computer Science from the University of Pennsylvania (1980). A software developer and consultant, he has been working mostly on Java/XML projects for the past few years. He did some earlier research in parallelism and in functional programming languages, which seems to be coming back to life within XSLT. In addition to joint publications with Alexander Nakhimovsky, he is the author of a book and several articles on theoretical computer science.
