Written by a Microsoft interactive content developer, "XML in Action" focuses on new design benefits to the user and how to get the best results. Pardi shows how to build next-generation applications with the universal data format.

XML is the de facto language for communication both within and between distributed applications whether they are on the Internet or a corporate network. No matter how disparate applications and their architectures may be almost everything can read text files and hence can accept XML data. This book provides a complete solution to XML on the .NET 2.0 Framework, including the new .NET 3.0 extensions. It provides readers with everything they need to know to take advantage of XML in every aspect of their working lives up to and including integration using Windows Communication Foundation.

This authoritative and comprehensive workbook covers XML encryption, confidentiality, authentication, digital signatures, message authentication, and cryptographic algorithms. This book will show developers all they need to know about how to use XML Digital Signatures to protect the integrity and authenticity of data, and how to use XML Encryption to control its confidentiality.

The art of writing XML schema in a systematic way.

This book introduces the capabilities of XML-RPC, a system for remote procedure calls built on XML and the HTTP protocol. XML-RPC lets developers connect programs running on different computers by wrapping procedure calls in XML.
