Objectives - Learn about the Ajax/Web 2.0 approach to Web development.
- See the strengths of DB2 9 pureXML.
Prerequisites
You should be reasonably familiar with Web development and databases.
System requirements
To deploy the source code, you will need a Windows or Linux operating system. On
it, you will need Zend Core for
