   Bill Schindler XML Double-Session At Warp Expo West !!


  XML is the new, future language of the web, and Warp Expo West
presents you with two XML lectures to put you ahead of the competition
and save you hours of study time.

  Bill Schindler is a renowned computer language and compiler code
optimization expert.  In these two lectures he will show you what XML
can do, discuss the web applications that XML will allow you to create,
and demonstrate how you can write XML quickly to make your web pages
come alive in ways that HTML simply is not capable.

  XML (eXtensible Markup Language) is dynamic.  It allows you to create
your own "tags" so you aren't restricted to the ones defined in some
specification.  These new tags are included in your web documents, and
the new browsers (he'll present the OS/2 XML browsers and tools in the
lectures) use these tags to put your web pages on the screen.  Sets of
predefined XML tags called DTDs are already being created for your use,
including SVG (vector graphics), business-oriented data exchange, new
word processor formats, XSLT (data transformations), RDF (web-based
metadata), even technical arenas such as mathematics and molecule
descriptions.

  Schindler is well-versed in language development and optimization, and
in these two XML lectures will show and teach you exactly what you need
to start writing XML.  "And I'll show real examples," he says, "such as
how XML can give OS/2's drag-and-drop a major increase in intelligence."

  In session one, "Why XML Is Important", you'll be given the new goals
that your web pages can now attain by using XML.  You'll see how XML can
give you better web pages faster, you'll be given ways to organize your
information for better displays, and you'll get ideas to convince
management that you and XML can deliver a web presence that beats the
competition.

  In session two, "An Introduction To XML", you'll learn the technical
aspects of coding web pages using XML, what decisions you'll have to
make for fast XML designs, the tricks you'll need for organizing the
pages, and how to parse and validate your XML documents so there won't
be surprises later.

  Bill Schindler is a well-recognized OS/2 contributor.  He's the Editor
In Chief of _Extended Attributes_ (the award-winning OS/2 magazine from
POSSI, the Phoenix OS/2 Society), author of Teach Yourself REXX In 21
Days, programmer of the Smack! OS/2 labeling program, and has a wide
background in compilers and code optimization.  Bill is currently
incorporating XML into Smack! as its standard file format.

  XML is the future and you _will_ need this information to stay
up-to-date as OS/2 grows.  Join us and learn the future -- at Warp Expo
West!

                           - - -

  Warp Expo West is free and will be held on September 18 near
Disneyland in sunny Southern California.  All the info is at
