It’s been a while, almost six years, since I have written my Style-free XSLT Style Sheets piece for XML.com but this simple technique remains one of my favorite.
It has not only been my first article published on XML.com but also the subject of my first talk in an IDEAlliance XML conference and it’s fair to [...]
One of the reasons I have been too busy to blog these days is the project to write a comprehensive book about Web 2.0 technologies.
If Web 2.0 is about using the web as a platform, this platform is far from being homogeneous. On the contrary, it is made of a number of very different pieces [...]
This blog entry is following up Norm Walsh’s essay on the same subject.
The first thing I’d want to react on isn’t the fact that RELAX NG isn’t suitable for this task, but the reason why this is the case.
Norm says that “there’s just no way to express a pattern that matches an attribute that contains [...]
TreeBind seems to be getting more visible :
My submission for XTech 2006 has been accepted.
Ron Bourret has added TreeBind in his XML Data Binding Resources.
Oleg Parashchenko has sent me a couple of references about his own Scheme based proposal to deal with hierarchical structures : “Reusing XML Processing Code in non-XML Application” and “XML View [...]
Dare Obasanjo et Uche Ogbuji ont publié trois billets web ([dare], [uche1], [uche2]) qui illustrent bien le décalage entre l’informatique d’entreprise et l’informatique du Web.
Ce phénomène n’est pas nouveau et dans les années 90 on retrouvait le même décalage entre l’informatique “sérieuse” prônée par la plupart des DSI et les développements client/serveur que nous préconisions [...]

Organized by data categories, this set of elements and attributes supports the internationalization and localization of schemas and documents. Implementations are provided for DTDs, XML Schema and Relax NG, and for existing vocabularies like XHTML, DocBook [...]
Last year Edd Dumbill, XTech Conference Chair, had been kind enough to answer my questions about the 2005 issue of the conference previously known as “XML Europe”. We’re renewing the experience, taking the opportunity to look back at last year issue and to figure out how XTech 2006 should look like.
vdV: You mention in your [...]
I have released a new version of my Java data binding framework, TreeBind and I feel I need to explain why I am so excited by this API and by other lightweight binding APIs…
To make it short, to me these APIs are the latest episode of a complete paradigm shift in the relation between code [...]
The Web 2.0 is both a new buzzword and a real progress. In this article, I’ll to separate the myth from the reality.
Note
This article is a translation of the article published in French on XMLfr and presented at sparklingPoint.
This version does integrate, in a very “WEB 2.0 fashion” a lot of comments from XMLfr editors [...]
