XML.NET Developer's Guide

With the development of Microsoft's .NET initiative, industry experts are predicting a new dawn in the age of web development and services. This new strategy specifically addresses the need for common ways to develop server-based applications whose clients can be any system that has Internet access. By using .NET technologies and practices, developers can build solutions that aggregate services from all over the Internet. This promises to save time and money in development, promote the growth of new technology partnerships, and extend what's currently possible for Internet applications.

The .NET Framework has the potential to transform the Internet from a collection of isolated Web sites into e-business networks in which companies can more easily form alliances to deliver personalized services to customers. The Microsoft .NET programming model is designed to allow the integration and interoperability of any group of resources on the Internet into one single solution.
Making all of this possible is the World Wide Web Consortium's Extensible Markup Language (XML).

Often touted as the new 'lingua franca' of the internet, XML will allow developers to free information from its presentational prison and give their site and services a new flexibility. Developers will be able to present information that can be organized, programmed and edited while ensuring that this information is efficiently distributed to a variety of digital devices. The .NET framework uses XML to achieve greater flexibility of information and increased interoperability. This book will show developers how to implement XML within the .NET framework.
