Delphi Developer's Guide to XML, 2nd Edition explains how to apply the power and flexibility of Delphi to XML, the Extensible Markup Language. This title is targeted at Delphi developers who want to use the power of XML in their applications. XML and related specifications (including XPath, XSL, XSLT, and XML Schema) are transforming the Internet and business-to-business (B2B) communications, defining a data format that is platform- and language-independent. Standardized access to XML documents is provided via the Document Object Model (DOM) and Simple API for XML (SAX) specifications. These XML processors allow more efficient handling of documents as well as the ability to move information between platforms such as Microsoft Windows and Unix.
A comprehensive title targeted at experienced 32-bit Delphi programmers and developers in the use of the industry graphics standard library, OpenGL, which has become a standard for programming in the animation and computer game industries.

Microsoft COM is prevalent throughout Windows operating systems 95, 98, NT-and is rapidly becoming the programming framework of choice. To build applications which interface with Windows systems, programmers must understand and learn to use COM. This book includes coverage of DCOM, Microsoft s distributed architecture that is based on COM. It will also covers the latest developments in Delphi 5. This book will teach COM programming to Delphi 4 and 5 programmers. After providing an understanding of the COM framework, it offers a practical exploration of COM to enable Delphi developers to program component-based applications. Typical real-world scenarios, such as Windows Shell programming, automating Microsoft Agent, and creating and using ActiveX controls, will be explored. Discussion of each topic will be illustrated with detailed examples.
