XML for E-Commerce Application Developers Business to Business

This manual explains how businesses of all sizes can securely exchange data and conduct business-to-business transactions over Internet networks by using Extensible Markup Language (XML). It helps readers devise a B2B ecommerce strategy and application development process specifically based on XML. The book teaches step-by-step how to create scalable and secure XML programs that exchange data and process transactions. It covers the fundamental similarities of leading XML application development frameworks and how to assess whether an organization should adopt one of these entirely or build a reusable framework. Extensive programming code is featured both in the book's pages and on the accompanying CD-ROM. The code is primarily in JavaScript and VBScript, and there are XML Document Type Definitions (DTDs) and schemas.
