SEBASTOPOL, CA--The Internet is driving an unprecedented demand for access to
information, and many of the leading Internet businesses run their growing
enterprises on Oracle databases. There has never been a better time to be a web
application developer who can exploit both XML (Extensible Markup Language) and
the Oracle database.
O'Reilly's just-released
Building Oracle XML
Applications (Steve Muench, $44.95) gives Java and PL/SQL developers a
detailed look at the many Oracle tools that support XML development-including
the Oracle XML Parser, the Oracle XML SQL Utility, and the XSQL Servlet.
"More than ever before, developers need to be able to rapidly acquire,
integrate, repurpose, and exchange information with other applications to feed
their growing databases and to coordinate their business operations with those
of partners and suppliers over the Web," says Muench. "XML dramatically
simplifies these tasks."
Oracle describes Oracle 8iTM as "the first XML enabled database."
Building Oracle XML Applications shows how to combine the power of XML
and XSLT with the speed, functionality, and reliability of the Oracle database
to build flexible applications. Muench, Oracle's lead XML Technical Evangelist
and development lead for Oracle XSQL Pages, delivers nearly 800 pages of useful
timesaving hints and extensive examples that developers can put to use
immediately to build custom XML applications.
Muench has been a catalyst in helping Oracle development teams weave XML and
XSLT sensibly into their future development plans, and is uniquely qualified to
provide a hands-on, practical guide to the nuts and bolts of XML and the
intimately related XSLT and XPath standards.
Building Oracle XML
Applications abounds with tested, commented, and fully explained
examples that can be used to jump-start your own Oracle XML web development
projects. The companion CD-ROM contains JDeveloper 3.1 (for Windows NT/2000),
an integrated development environment for Java.
