Hey fellas
I am a web designer/developer with little in the way of formal
training. I took some lower level programming courses to familiarize
myself with structured programming and then taught myself (through books
as well as trial and error) new web technologies like ASP and PHP on an
as-needed basis.
I have yet to come across a project that requires XML, but to tell you
the truth, I wouldn't know one when I saw it. So my questions are:
1) What types of projects should use XML?
2) What would be a good project for me to learn/test/refine my XML
skills on?
3) What texts and web pages would you suggest for reference?
Thanks in advance,
--Rob--

In response to your questions... 1) What types of projects should use XML?
You can use XML for project such as:
1) Transformation of XML data for presentation in web pages. This enables
you to have multiple views of the same data. This transformation can be
done with Superx++ or XSLT.
2) Integration between disparate systems where the systems agree on an XML
definition. This can either be loosely determined or formalized with DTDs
or XML schema documents.
3) Messaging applications and web services can use Superx++, XML-RPC, SOAP,
etc. All of which are XML.
2) What would be a good project for me to learn/test/refine my XML
skills on?
Probably one of the easiest types of projects to cut your teeth on might be
to build a series of web pages that use transformation techniques to present
different views of the same data. This is a small project that offers you
the ability to learn XML in practice.
3) What texts and web pages would you suggest for reference?
Try the following:
www.topxml.com
www.emergentlogic.com
http://www.w3schools.com/default.asp

Thanks Kimanzi,
I'll take a look at the sites and see if I can get something working.
I've been reading other posts trying to get a feel for the syntax. There
are some fairly complex issues envolved which makes it doubly appealing.
Thanks again for the advice.

Hey Rob,
You're welcome. XML should be simple; however it is made complex by the
multitude of specs being churned out by the various organizations that have
undertaken to do so. Still, a good book and good tutorials should get you
oriented in the right direction.
Good Luck!

I would like to generate every unique combination of numbers 1-5 in a 5
digit number and follow each combo with a newline. So i'm looking at
generating combinations such as: (12345) , (12235), (55554) and so on.
What would be the best way to do this? So, basically i'm looking for a
list of all combinations of 1-5 in a 5 digit unique number. Also, when
I send the list to print there can't be any duplicates of the combos.
Thanks,

Hello, i'm trying to program a thread that would be locked (by a
mutex) and that would only be unlocked once that a function
(generating data) is done. The purpose is to generate data, and unlock
the mutex in order to activate the thread once the data is generated.
I have to do it this way, i can only call the thread if the data are
generated.

I am unable to find appropriate documentation on the type promotion of bit-fields when using the generalised comparison operator "<=>".
The problem is that using the GNU compilers, it seems that the internal comparison operator "<=>" tries to promote arguments from unsigned to signed.

Windows 11 and 10 have less user interface control over operating system update behaviour than previous versions of Windows.

For most users, this new feature is actually very convenient. If you want to control the update process,...
