XForms Essentials, 9780596003692 (0596003692), O'Reilly, 2003
XForms Essentials is an introduction and practical guide to the new XForms specification. Written by Micah Dubinko, a member of the W3C XForms working group and an editor of the specification, the book explains the how and why of XForms, showing readers how to take advantage of them without having to write their own code. You'll learn how to integrate XForms with both HTML and XML vocabularies, and how XForms can simplify the connection between client-based user input and server-based processing. If you work with forms, HTML, or XML information, XForms Essentials will provide you with a much simpler route to more sophisticated interactions with users.

The book in your hands introduces you to XForms, a combination of two of the most successful experiments ever performed with the Web: XML and forms.

2003 marks the 10-year anniversary of forms on the Web. During that time, the Web grew from a loose collection of technical research sites to the livelihood of millions, browser empires have risen and fallen, and the tech economy went through an inflationary period of cosmic proportions only to collapse back in upon itself. The addition of forms to the otherwise static HTML language in 1993 was a revolutionary step forward, making possible Yahoo!, Google, Amazon, Hotmail, and countless other interactive sites.

During the mid-nineties, the World Wide Web Consortium (W3C) began work on XML, a uniform way to represent structured text and data, in an attempt to simplify an earlier language called SGML. XML became a W3C Recommendation in 1998, and has since gained momentum, becoming the foundation for XHTML, SVG, the Universal Business Language (UBL), syndication formats such as RSS, and DocBook (which was used to write this book). Nearly every data format that consists primarily of human-readable data has been influenced by XML.

At last, XForms—officially described at http://www.w3.org/TR/xforms—provides a way for web forms to serve as XML data collection tools. Increasingly, IT departments are using XML and native XML databases to store mission-critical data. Workflow and routing systems rely on XML for data representation. Web services, which are growing immensely in popularity, are the final piece of the puzzle—making it easy (and providing needed tool support) to send and receive XML data and documents.

Object Categorization: Computer and Human Vision Perspectives
Object Categorization: Computer and Human Vision Perspectives

The recognition of object categories has a rich history in computer vision. In the 1970s, generic object recognition systems sought to model and recognize objects based on their coarse, prototypical shape. These early systems employed complex 3-D models, which offered invariance to viewpoint (including image translation, rotation, and scale),...


Principles of Solid Mechanics
Principles of Solid Mechanics
There is no area of applied science more diverse and powerful than the mechanics of deformable solids nor one with a broader and richer history. From Galileo and Hooke through Coulomb, Maxwell, and Kelvin to von Neuman and Einstein, the question of how solids behave for structural applications has been a basic theme for physical research exciting...
