Overview

XML and Java from Scratch is designed to teach XML and Java in the context of building a real, working Web site and application. All the information on products, prices, vendors, and so on is rendered in XML and the reader learns how to display products on the company Web site, take orders, produce a paper catalog, and communicate with the external databases of vendors using XML. Using informative icons-such as Geek Speak and Excursions Nicholas Chase teaches you the correct pronunciation of key terms and discusses interesting subject-related side notes that pertain to the topic at hand.
