Dear XML-Dev, It is no secret that after half a decade of XML the amount of information piled up can be overwhelming even to seasoned developers. On the same token, books and other instructional material abound -I sometimes think everyone of us in this list has a book on the subject ;)- but we see in conferences and offices a growing need for practical information on what really works and what doesn't. In other words, there is enough material exposing every detail of the XML family, but we are still to provide enough useful guidelines on what is clay and what is sand. I believe patterns can be an effective mechanism to encapsulate and communicate that expert knowledge and emphasize best practices[1]. I am writing a book entitled "Patterns in XML". The book will be published by Prentice Hall PTR/Addison-Wesley Publishers. While we have the privilege of counting with patterns experts to be part of our review team, I am sure that only adding the participation and feedback of the xml-dev community can give this work the chance of being a real, solid guide to the best reusable approaches when dealing with XML technologies. Knowing that only the participation of the world's best can make this the guide that developers need, I kindly invite you all to contribute on the construction of this book by providing your peer review/feedback on the material as it is built at: http://groups.yahoo.com/group/xmldpbook/ [2] Please write to me directly for addition. Thank you very much. I hope to see you there. All the best, Fabio ---- [1] Some of my earlier explorations of the idea were shown on xml dev con Montreal 99, and http://www.xml.com/pub/a/2000/01/19/feature/index.html [2] Choosing a yahoo group instead of a mailing list seems an appropriate choice as portions of the book need to be made public to a wide yet restricted audience.
