(Jagadish Chaterjee) This article mainly focuses on reading XML documents in several ways using Visual Basic.NET 2005. Topics discussed include the XMLReader and XSLT, among others.

(David Mertz) MochiKit is a useful and high-level library for JavaScript. MochiKit takes its main inspiration from Python, and from the many conveniences the Python standard library offers; but on the side it also smooths over the inconsistencies among browser versions. MochiKit.DOM is a particularl

(Kurt Cagle) As usual, I’ve been busy the last couple of weeks, working mainly on a new JavaScript template library that I hope will simplify a lot of the pain of XML development, at least on Firefox. I’ve discovered the same truth that other JavaScript practitioners are coming to realize – if you s

(Oleg Tkachenko) Reporting errors in XSLT stylesheets is a task that almost nobody gets done right. Including me – error reporting in nxslt sucks in a big way. Probably that’s because I’m just lazy bastard. But also lets face it – XslCompiledTransform API doesn’t help here.

(Ralf Lämmel) “Typed XML programmer, where have you have been in the last few weeks?” This series of blog posts has been stuck because I attended a bunch of conferences and workshops, and I was really busy with an incubation project on typed XML programming (see later in this series).

Yes, XML really makes it easy to move data from here to there and from there to here. While this is really great it totally ignores the fact that eventually the data needs to be sto

(Oleg Tkachenko) It’s surprisingly easy in .NET 2.0. Obviously it can’t be done with pure XSLT, but an extension function returning line number for a node takes literally two lines. The trick is to use XPathDocument, not XmlDocument to store source XML to be transformed.

(Kris Hadlock) If you’re developing in AJAX, author Kris Hadlock has a few tricks you can use to avoid common issues and speed up your AJAX development time. This article shows you how to prevent cached AJAX requests, debug AJAX code with FireBug, and create a database connection.
