| The JAXB API |
| Kohsuke Kawaguchi | January 8th, 2003 |

| I have been waiting for over a year now for JAXB to reach maturity. So this article is a welcome sign as JAXB gets closer to the 1.0 release. What is JAXB?

Ah, that is an article in itself, in fact see the next link someone began to write it. This article reviews part of the JAXB API. |

| The Functional Programming Language XSLT - A proof through examples |
| Dimitre Novatchev | November, 2001 |
|
| Some examples on using XSLT in twisted manners. I mean how often will you have to perform the square root function in XSLT? I don't know why, I just like XSLT and XPATH. That doesn't mean I can program in it very well still. I mean how many decent XSLT programmers do you know? But I like it and so I will continue to sneak in XSLT, XPATH and XQuery links. Most likely this is due my having a twisted sense of humor that leads to my liking XSLT. Oh well, enjoy. |
