Description
XML offers Web developers an unprecedented opportunity to add meaning and flexibility to their sites. If you want to get results with XML fast, without a lot of theory or hype, Just XML is a great place to start. It's a complete practitioner's guide to using XML. Throughout the book, concrete examples illuminate each key aspect of XML development. Once you thoroughly understand what can be achieved with XML, you'll walk step-by-step through the development of a comprehensive DTD that leverages XML's full power. Whether you've used HTML or SGML before, Just Java delivers "just the facts" you need to build advanced XML applications faster than you ever imagined.
