XQuery»rank: 329103by: Priscilla Walmsley
: :With the XQuery 1.0 standard, you finally have a tool that will make it much easier to search, extract and manipulate information from XML content stored in databases. This in-depth tutorial not only walks you through the XQuery specification, but also teaches you how to program with this widely anticipated query language. XQuery is for query writers who have some knowledge of XML basics, but not necessarily advanced knowledge of XML-related technologies. It can be used both as a tutorial, by reading cover to cover, and as a reference, by using the comprehensive index and appendixes. Either way, you will find the background knowledge in namespaces, schemas, built-in types and regular expressions ... |
XQuery: The XML Query Language»rank: 648279by: Michael Brundage
: :This book will be for XQuery what The Java Programming Language is for Java: a complete description of the language, suitable for both beginners and experts. This book is what you need to understand the basic design goals of XQuery and its application in real-world development. It provides solid coverage of XQuery, and is appropriate as a tutorial and a reference. The W3C specification is dense, poorly written, very formal and abstract, and does not contain many examples--exactly what you'd expect from a formal specification. Consequently, developers are starving for information about and examples of XQuery. Because the formal specifications are most people's only source of information about the standards, and because ... |

XML in a Nutshell, Third Edition»rank: 77521by: Elliotte Rusty Harold, W. Scott Means
: : If you're a developer working with XML, you know there's a lot to know about XML, and the XML space is evolving almost moment by moment.

And if it's a detail that has to do with XML or its companion standards, you'll find it--clear, concise, useful, and well-organized--in the updated third edition of XML in a Nutshell. With XML in a Nutshell beside your keyboard, you'll be able to: Quick-reference syntax rules and usage examples for the core XML technologies, including XML, DTDs, Xpath, XSLT, SAX, and ... |
Multimedia Retrieval (Data-Centric Systems and Applications)»rank: 1120211from: Springer
: :Retrieval of multimedia data is different from retrieval of structured data. A key problem in multimedia databases is search, and the proposed solutions to the problem of multimedia information retrieval span a rather wide spectrum of topics outside the traditional database area, ranging from information retrieval and human–computer interaction to computer vision and pattern recognition. Based on more than 10 years of teaching experience, Blanken and his coeditors have assembled all the topics that should be covered in advanced undergraduate or graduate courses on multimedia retrieval and multimedia databases. The single chapters of this textbook explain the general architecture of multimedia information retrieval systems; various metadata languages like Dublin Core, RDF, or ... |

Pro Active Record: Databases with Ruby and Rails (Pro)»rank: 334838by: Kevin Marshall, Chad Pytel, Jon Yurek
: :Pro Active Record helps you take advantage of the full power of your database engine from within your Ruby programs and Rails applications. ActiveRecord, part of the magic that makes the Rails framework so powerful and easy to use, is the model element of Rails model/view/controller framework. Its an object-relational mapping library enabling you to interact with databases from both Ruby and Rails applications. Because ActiveRecord is configured with default assumptions that mesh perfectly with the Rails framework, Rails developers often find they hardly need think about it at all. However, if you are developing in Ruby without Rails, or are deploying against legacy databases designed without Rails in mind, or you ... |

Effective XML: 50 Specific Ways to Improve Your XML (Effective Software Development Series)»rank: 484121by: Elliotte Rusty Harold
: :Learning the fundamentals of XML might take a programmer a week. Learning how to use XML effectively might take a lifetime. While many books have been written that teach developers how to use the basic syntax of XML, this is the first one that really focuses on how to use XML well. This book is not a tutorial. It is not going to teach you what a tag is or how to write a DTD (Document Type Definition). Instead it's going to tell you when, why, where, and how to use such tools effectively (and equally important when not to use them).Since XML has become a fundamental underpinning of new software systems, ... |
