TY XML in 24 Hours, 2nd Edition

Sams Publishing · 2001 · Author · 485 pages

The second edition of Teach Yourself XML in 24 Hours represents a completely new approach to teaching XML than the previous edition. The book explains the fundamental concepts of XML using practical, hands-on examples. After a quick primer on XML and its relationship to HTML and the Web, the book jumps into real-world examples of how the technology can be used today. Topics include modeling data in XML, viewing XML in Web browsers using style sheets, processing XML documents, and taking advantage of existing XML-based markup languages to create vector graphics, multimedia presentations, and virtual 3-D worlds.
