Developers SIG
September 3, 2002

Announcement

At the September 3, 2002 meeting of the Developers SIG we will continue our investigation of XML with a demonstration of XML Spy, a popular tool used in XML application development. Keith Alcock will present a program from a recent development project that generates an XML document and then use XML Spy to create an XML Schema to validate it. The document will then be "repurposed" and with the help of XSL and XML Spy be transformed into both HTML and SVG formats.

Presentation

In case you weren't able to attend the meeting or want to review parts of the presentation, you can take a look at an HTML version of the PowerPoint presentation entitled XML Documents, Schemas, and Transformations. The presentation was fairly interactive, involving both software and audience participation. That interaction cannot be reproduced here, unfortunately. Please come to our meetings!
