John's "Favorite Web Document Technology Books"

Add to my lists | Print this list

Most all of what makes the World Wide Web recognizable and usable is documents. The Web is built out of documents. Most of what it can do would not be doable if those documents did not follow standards.

These books talk about what those standards are, how to create documents that adhere to them, and how to write software that leverages of of them.

Several of the leading standards bodies for these documents are:
  • "World Wide Web Consortium (W3)":http://www.w3.org/ – industry-independent fundamental document standards: HTML, XHTML, XML, XSD, XForms, XLink, XPointer, XInclude, XSLT, XSL-FO, CSS, SVG, etc.
  • "OASIS":http://www.oasis-open.org/ – business document standards
  • "ISO":http://www.iso.org/ – known for XML Schema standards: RELAX NG - grammar based XML schema language; Schematron – rule based XML schema language
