This title shows readers how to create practical applications using XML and Java. It teaches novices the "hows" and "whys" of programming in the context of creating a functioning application. Features include how to display products, take orders, and produce a paper catalogue.
With the help of XML and Java from scratch, you will build a Web site and application for ChaseWeb Furniture-a fictitious catalog furniture company. All of the information on products, prices, vendors, and so on, is rendered in XML. You'll learn how to display products on the company Web site, take orders, produce a paper catalog, and communicate with the external databases of vendors using XML. The from scratch format is designed to teach novice programmers the hows and whys of programming in the context of creating a functioning application.

Nicholas Chase has been involved in Web site development for companies such as Lucent Technologies, Sun Microsystems, and Oracle Corporation. He got his first email account in 1989, and before immersing himself in the Web, he was a physicist, a high school teacher, a low-level radioactive-waste facility manager, an online science fiction magazine editor, a multimedia engineer, and an Oracle instructor. He is currently the chief technology officer of Site Dynamics Interactive Communications in Clearwater, Florida. He is also the author of Active Server Pages 3.0 from scratch. He enjoys watching sunsets with his lovely wife Sarah and their teenage son Sean.
