Sarah, I went through this learning curve a few months ago. The books you want would depend on what you want to do with XML. XML itself is often used in combination with XSL to transform it into something else like HTML or XHTML or plain text. It was pretty rigorous for a few weeks while I was learning what to do and making a LOT of stupid mistakes, but I really like what I am able to do now as an extension to Delphi. Perhaps a little more detail and I could recommend some other sources, although I am away from my office now and may not recall the exact books names. If you know any HTML, you will be way ahead with XML since it is similarly formed, except the tags have no inherent meaning except by mutual agreement between interested parties. Here is a Delphi site relating to XML: http://delphi.about.com/od/objectpascalide/l/aa072500a.htm and check MS XML site since they have a commonly used parser that Delphi can access to read or create an XML file.

Hi Sarah, Quote: I am a Delphi developer interested in learning XML Where do I start with it? Do you know any good books, web sites or any other resources that help in learning XML? For learning XML with Delphi, you can check a number of my articles, like the following: Delphi XML Document Programming http://www.drbob42.com/examines/examin22.htm With Delphi 6, new XML features have been added in the form of XML document programming, XML Data Binding Wizard, XML Mapper and BizSnap (SOAP/XML Web Services). This is the first in a series of articles about Delphi 6 XML support, starting off with XML Document Programming in Delphi 6. Delphi XML Data Binding http://www.drbob42.com/examines/examin23.htm With Delphi 6 (and now also Kylix 2), new XML features have been added in the form of XML document programming, XML Data Binding Wizard, XML Mapper and BizSnap (SOAP/XML Web Services). This is the second in a series of articles about XML support, this time about XML Data Binding. Delphi XML Mapping Tool (XML Mapper) http://www.drbob42.com/examines/examin25.htm With Delphi 6 (and also Kylix 2), new XML features have been added in the form of XML document programming, XML Data Binding Wizard, XML Mapper and BizSnap (SOAP/XML Web Services). This is the third in my series of articles about XML support, this time about the XML Mapping Tool (also known as XML Mapper). Introduction to XSTL with Delphi http://www.drbob42.com/examines/examin50.htm In this paper, I will introduce XSLT, and cover XSLT support in Delphi in the form of the TXSLPageProducer component (and also see how to do it using plain MSXML). Finally, we also see that XSLT on the .NET Framework can be done using the XSL classes from the System.Xml.Xsl namespace, which contains XslTransform for this purpose.

Thanks Rick, Though I am not a web developer, I do know HTML reasonably well. I have to use XML as a bridge between our product and some other products our clients have. Basically, I have to expose some of our custom format files/data to the other products as XML files. I also love to present some of those new XML docs with nice XSL files, but that's something personal! :) Thanks, Sarah Back to top Sarah Guest Posted: Thu Sep 22, 2005 10:00 pm    Post subject: Re: Where do I start with XML!?

The FAQ is at http://xml.silmaril.ie/ Quote: Do you know any good books, web sites or any other resources that help in learning XML? It depends what you are going to be using it for (ie just Delphi or all kinds of other things as well). The conventional distinction (as rough-and-ready as any of these distinctions are) is between "data" XML and "document" XML, eg Data: <bid id="xyz123"> <timestamp>2005-10-02T13:42:23.34+0500</timestamp> <item>38999536583658365863408263</item> <value>34.00</value> <currency>EUR</currency> <user>SarahBram</user> </bid> Document: <book> <imprint> <title>Pride and Prejudice</title> <author>Jane Austen</author> <date>1813</date> </imprint> <chapter> <para>It is a truth universally acknowledged, that a single man in possession of a good fortune must be in want of a wife.</para> ....etc... </chapter> </book> What you want to get out of it will probably guide what kind of book or books you need to look at. ///Peter Back to top Display posts from previous: All Posts1 Day7 Days2 Weeks1 Month3 Months6 Months1 Year Oldest FirstNewest First         BorlandTalk.com Forum Index -> Delphi XML All times are GMT Page 1 of 1   Jump to: Select a forum C++ Builder Newsgroups----------------C++ BuilderC++ Builder (ActiveX)C++ Builder (Announcements)C++ Builder (Command Line Tools)C++ Builder DatabasesC++ Builder Databases (ADO)C++ Builder Databases (Desktop)C++ Builder Databases (InterBase Express)C++ Builder Databases (Multi-Tier)C++ Builder Databases (SQL Servers)C++ Builder (Graphics)C++ Builder (IDE)C++ Builder (Internet)C++ Builder (Internet Socket)C++ Builder (Internet Web)C++ Builder (Jobs)C++ Builder (Language)C++ Builder (Language C++)C++ Builder (Compatibility with MFC)C++ Builder (Native API)C++ Builder (Non-Technical)C++ Builder (Students)C++ Builder (Third Party Tools)C++ Builder (Upgrade)C++ Builder (VCL)C++ Builder (VCL Components Usage)C++ Builder (VCL Components Development)C++ Builder (VCL Usage)C++ Builder (WinAPI)C++ Builder Installation Delphi Newsgroups----------------Delphi (General)Delphi ActiveX Controls UsageDelphi ActiveX Controls DevelopmentDelphi As400Delphi DatabasesDelphi Databases (ADO)Delphi Databases (dbExpress)Delphi Databases (Desktop)Delphi Databases (InterBase Express)Delphi Databases (Multi-Tier)Delphi Databases (SQL Servers)Delphi DeploymentDelphi GraphicsDelphi IDEDelphi InternationalizationDelphi InternetDelphi Internet Isapi-WebBrokerDelphi Internet WebSnapDelphi Internet WinsockDelphi JobsDelphi Language BASMDelphi Language ObjectPascalDelphi Model Driven Architecture (General)Delphi Model Driven Architecture (Third Party)Delphi MultimediaDelphi Native APIDelphi Non-TechnicalDelphi ObjectPascalDelphi OLE AutomationDelphi OO designDelphi OpenToolsAPIDelphi Reporting-ChartingDelphi RTLDelphi StudentsDelphi TeamSourceDelphi Thirdparty ToolsDelphi Thirdparty Tools (General)Delphi Thirdparty Tools (IntraWeb)Delphi Thirdparty Tools (RaveReports)Delphi UpgradeDelphi VCLDelphi VCL ComponentsDelphi VCL Components UsingDelphi VCL Components WritingDelphi WebServices SOAPDelphi WinAPIDelphi XMLDelphi Installationcomp.lang.pascal.delphi.components.misccomp.lang.pascal.delphi.components.usagecomp.lang.pascal.delphi.components.writingcomp.lang.pascal.delphi.databasescomp.lang.pascal.delphi.misccomp.sources.delphi JBuilder Newsgroups----------------JBuilderJBuilder AnnouncementsJBuilder Applet IssuesJBuilder As400JBuilder CompilerJBuilder CORBA/RMIJBuilder DatabasesJBuilder DB SwingJBuilder DebuggerJBuilder DeploymentJBuilder DocumentationJBuilder EnterpriseJBuilder HandheldJBuilder IDEJBuilder JavaJBuilder JavaAPIJBuilder Java LanguageJBuilder Java SwingJBuilder Java BeansJBuilder Java Beans UsageJBuilder Java Beans DevelopmentJBuilder JBCLJBuilder JDataStoreJBuilder JobsJBuilder LinuxJBuilder MacintoshJBuilder & MobileSetJBuilder MultiLingual AppsJBuilder Non-TechnicalJBuilder OpenToolsJBuilder Servlets (JSP)JBuilder StudentsJBuilder Team DevelopmentJBuilder Thirdparty ToolsJBuilder UpgradeJBuilder Installation InterBase Newsgroups----------------InterBaseInterBase Bug DiscussionInterBase GeneralInterBase IBConsoleInterBase OpenSourceInterBase ReplicationInterBase SQLInterBase ThirdpartyInterBase Installation Miscellaneous Borland Newsgroups----------------AppCenterAppServerEnteraVisiBroker  You cannot post new topics in this forum You cannot reply to topics in this forum You cannot edit your posts in this forum You cannot delete your posts in this forum You cannot vote in polls in this forum Powered by phpBB © 2001, 2006 phpBB Group SEO toolkit © 2004-2006 webmedic.
