Using and Abusing XML and XSL for Smalltalkers - tutorial (extra cost applies) Joseph Pelrine: Metaprog Wednesday 8:30:00 am to 12:00:00 pm
Abstract: In the past few years, the Extensible Markup Language (XML) has become much more than just a superset of HTML. By virtue of its level of abstraction and its flexibility, XML can be used to model everything from a simple web page up to a complex data structure. In order for XML documents or data to be displayed to a user in a browser, on a cell phone or as PDF, is it necessary to change the original data into the formats needed for it. As part of the style component of XML, XSLT serves exactly this purpose.
This course illustrates the techniques for changing and transforming data by means of XML and XSLT and points out possibilities for practical application. These technologies and techniques will be shown in the context of Rosetta, a dialect-independent framework for Smalltalk code exchange.
