In Print?

I've just come across this:

http://www.ptpress.com.cn/Book.aspx?id=12089

ISBN】 978-7-115-19834-1

I think this is the first published book on XML in which SketchPath gets a mention.

The thing is, this is a Chinese language book, and as my linguistic skills are limited, I don't quite know what the website says about it.

Anyway, thanks to the author who mentioned SketchPath, Google translator tells me that 使用SketchPath调试XPath means 'Common XPath Debugger'.

Some time ago I got some really useful comments on SketchPath, especially about non UTF-8 encoding such as GB2312, this was from a Chinese-Language technical author. So many thanks to him for his contribution, and perhaps its his book at this website?

XMLPrague 2009 Presentations

If you follow XML trends then you need to check out XMLPrague 2009 if you haven't already.

There are some really interesting, thought provoking video presentations here, my favourites:

  1. XML Schema 1.1 Update by Michael Kay
  2. High-Performance XML (Using Frozen Streams) by Alex Brown
  3. Exploring XProc by Norman Walsh

There are many more excellent presentations, kind of makes me wish I was there.
