(Nicholas Chase) In Part 5 of this tutorial series on analyzing data with XSLT, the MindMap Research Team decides to tie their data in with other services, pulling information from Amazon Web Services in response to information unearthed in the analysis. Web services provide information in XML,

(Xavier Baril and Zohra Bellahsène) Data present on the Web is unstructured, or has incomplete, irregular, or frequently changed structure. XML is becoming the universal data exchange model on the Web. It has been shown that XML is well suited for representing semi-structured data. Compared to HTML,

(Toufic Boubez) Traditional development produces applications that are closed to wide usage. Custom development is required to open these programs to wide-scale integration.

(Brett McLaughlin) This article points out the iterative nature of data binding, which I’ve yet to really bring to your attention. Many APIs, especially those that fall into the utility category of APIs, are things that you just toss into your classpath and use. A great example of this sort of t

(Antoine Quint) As you have no doubt read in my previous article, SVG Tiny, the SVG sub-profile geared toward mobile phones, offers very interesting features: 2D-vector drawing, raster-image embedding, animation, and definition of reusable assets like fonts and graphics objects.
