Résumé
Get the work-ready information and tools you need to
meet the challenges of doing business in Internet time.
Well-known XML instructor and solutions developer Brian
Travis shares his from-the-field experience on how to
create business-to-business (B2B) e-commerce applications
using eXtensible Markup Language (XML). He begins by
building the business case for XML in the B2B context,
discussing standards, industry schemas, and the
BizTalk™ Framework. He then tackles the how-to's of
application integration, stepping you line by line through
code and business examples—including the construction
of a working BizTalk server application.
• Express complex data relationships with simple XML
syntax—for easy cross-platform data exchange
• Learn how to use XML schemas and the BizTalk
Framework to adapt existing data and applications for
e-commerce—and lower your transaction costs
• Use the Simple Object Access Protocol (SOAP) to pass
information to partners across platforms and through
firewalls
• See the play-by-play of what happens when you use
Extensible Stylesheet Language (XSL)?and the Architag XRay
XML Editor on disc—to transform XML documents from
one schema to another
• Use the BizTalk Mapper tool in Microsoft® BizTalk
Server 2000 to create your own transformation-processing
style sheets
• Understand the business and technical requirements
for BizTalk server software—and walk through the
development of a complete B2B solution
• Get turned onto XML and BizTalk–related
resources on line—including libraries of validated
schemas, free XML tools, best practices, case studies, and
discussion groups
