Features: This is a self-study guidebook for beginners and intermediate programmers. It comprehensively introduces the next-generation server-side page development technology—XSP (eXtensible Server Pages) and the brand-new web publishing framework—Cocoon. As a new member of the Server Pages family, XSP technology, with its three-layer separation of static content, program logic, and presentation style based on Cocoon technology, brings great convenience to editing, reusing, and maintaining code, making development efficiency reach its peak. As a result, XSP is gaining unprecedented recognition, and more and more signs indicate that it will bring a new era to server-side pages. This edition consists of 12 chapters and 3 appendices. The main content includes:
- An introduction to related technologies such as XML, DTD, XSL, XSLFO, Namespaces, Schema, XHTML, SVG, and WML;
- Basic knowledge of Cocoon;
- Methods for configuring Cocoon;
- Basic syntax of XSP;
- Cocoon processors;
- Usage of the XSPUtil class;
- Usage of built-in XSP objects;
- Basic knowledge of XSP logic components and their development process;
- Finally, a reference for the usage of common XSP logic components.
This edition uses the new operating platform—Windows XP, based on the new XML technology specifications—XHTML, WML, XSLT, to introduce the new Server Pages technology—XSP and discuss the new web publishing framework—Cocoon. Adhering to the learning approach and principles of professionals adopting new technologies, the book features concise and clear language, rich content, typical examples, and a combination of technical theory and implementation. It is particularly suitable for frontline developers, programmers, and university teachers and students for learning and reference.
This edition can serve as a guidebook for professional website developers and network programming and development personnel on XSP technology, as well as a teaching material for social web page design or programming training courses. The CD accompanying this edition provides the source code for the examples in this edition.
