Building a Visual FoxPro Application for SQL Server: Jul 2, 2004; Learn how to build a data access layer to communicate with either DBFs or SQL Server. Even cooler, you'll do it with no code to change when you move from DBFs to SQL tables, and an upsizing wizard to migrate the data for you. Find out how to use a data access layer in FoxPro, which gives you the ability to use DBFs, SQL Server, a WebConnection XML server, or XML Web services.

Cleaning Your Web Pages with HTML Tidy: Jul 2, 2004; Even with the push for web standards, many web pages are still plagued by sloppy coding. Technical writer Scott Nesbitt looks at fixing problems with HTML files using HTML Tidy.

Navigation in XQuery: May 7, 2004; This chapter explores how XQuery provides a litany of navigation expressions. It is designed to be a language in which queries are concise and easily understood. It is also flexible enough to query a broad spectrum of XML information sources, including both databases and documents.

The Great XML-Access Database Exchange: May 7, 2004; With the latest releases of Access, you can export database data from Access to XML format for use in a web site, export data to other databases, and even import XML data from a web site right back into your Access database.

XSLT 2.0 Web Development: Elements of a Web Site: Apr 30, 2004; Dmitry Kirsanov looks at how source definition rules can be applied to real-world source XML documents of a typical web site. Kirsanov covers markup constructs commonly used in page documents and presents complete summary examples of a page document, a master document, and a Schematron schema to validate them.

Using the Java Wireless Toolkit: Apr 16, 2004; Bob Reselman shows you how to use the Java Wireless Toolkit to turn a user's cell phone into a mini tune player. Why would you want to do this? You get to learn a thing or two about writing Java code for mobile devices. And it's fun!

XML and Wireless Technologies: WML: Apr 16, 2004; David Gulbransen illustrates how XML penetrates just about everywhere in the Internet. However, the triumph of XML has continued even after that—to wireless technologies.

RSS: Implementation Issues and Recommendations: Mar 12, 2004; If you're going to set up content distribution with RSS, you'll need to make some basic decisions. After that, though, it's pretty easy to implement RSS feeds on your site.

Introduction to XForms: XML Powered Web Forms: Mar 5, 2004; As we deploy Web access to software at all levels of complexity ranging from business back-ends to simple electronic transactions, we need to revisit the design of HTML forms that are the essential underpinnings of the transactional Web. XForms — a revision to the existing HTML forms technology developed by the World Wide Web Consortium (W3C — builds on the advantages of XML to create a versatile forms module that can stand the Web in good stead for the next decade.

Creating Valid XML Documents: DTDs: Feb 27, 2004; In HTML, a browser can check HTML because it knows all about legal HTML. In XML, you define what's legal and what's not by specifying the syntax you're going to allow for an XML document. This makes validation critical. Steve Holzner shows you how to validate XML documents with document type definitions (DTDs).

Using XML in Reporting Systems: Feb 27, 2004; No matter what the Web application, or where it's implemented, it's a safe bet to assume that there will be some reporting involved. The development of many reporting systems can benefit from the appropriate placement and usage of XML.

Designing Your Software for Cross-Platform Use: Feb 20, 2004; Those who need their code to compile on more than one platform can save time and headaches by learning to implement "abstraction layers." While this technique introduces new layers of complexity in your code, Dee-Ann and Robert LeBlanc promise that the tradeoff is well worth the effort.

Mapping between XML and Relational Data: Feb 6, 2004; This chapter explores the various methods for mapping between XML and relational data models.
