Introduction - None of this section is written, will be coordinated with Part I of the book.
Technologies
Here are the sections that Hasan has written: Intro, XML syntax, DTD syntax, XML namespaces, XML schema, XPointer, XLink, DOM, RDF, XML InterLingua (MathML et al), and WIDL, WebBroker, and HTTP-NG (are these last three important?). The main examples show the use of XML/DTD to represent a simple database, how to format with XSL, how to use Java to process a DOM object, and the Tiny Browser and Server to format documents.
Text: I will do minor editing for prose - 2 days
Examples: Need to be organized and put into directories and more info
on where to get software to run them.
Need from Hasan: Attribution on where he got info, help with getting
examples and directions on how to run them, opinions on relative importance
of plethora of proposed standards - which are likely to survive and be
widely used.
Text: I will combine these and add some sections. - 3 days
Examples: Need to sort out ones that work and move to webtech directory,
including examples already obtained from Zeynip and Hasan. Sort out
proprietary ones.
Text: I will add DHTML section from cps616 slides and review JavaScript.
Need Geoffrey to
read and advise on updates. 4 days.
Examples: Move Geoffrey's examples to webtech directory.
Text: Leave pretty much as is. I will revise and update, but keep it
at 1.1 and not 1.2. 3 days.
Examples: Shrideep's thread examples are in good shape. Other basic Java
examples
will be moved to webtech already. RMI and JDBC examples need some work
to sort out the old ones.
Text: Minor revisions by Nancy. 2 days.
Examples: Settle the issues with what ORB they run on and give
directions.
Text: Rewritten by Hasan. Examples: From Hasan.
Text: I can write section using cps616 talk slides. Examples: Sort out ours from Sun's.
Text: I could write short section on JINI based on my cps616 talk,
approximately 10 pages. 5 days.
Examples: Give examples from SUN?
Text: Rewrite and concentrate on JDBC. 4 days. Examples: Use existing examples, but must sort out Chao-wei's tutorials as substantial material there comes from Sun.
