A hands-on introduction to Schematron
Meet Schematron, a schema language that allows you to directly express rules without creating a whole grammatical infrastructure. Schematron is useful whenever you wish to apply and check against rules for the contents of XML documents. Schematron is extraordinarily flexible in the variety of rules you can express, and it's even more expressive than other schema languages such as DTD, W3C XML Schema (WXS) and RELAX NG. In this tutorial, author Uche Ogbuji uses detailed examples to illustrate Schematron's use, and offers recipes for common schema needs.

Web services enable you to quickly integrate applications across multiple platforms, systems and even across businesses. This tutorial demonstrates how easily you can make your DB2 data accessible through Web services. It shows how to use the Application Developer configuration of WebSphere Studio V5 on the Windows platform to develop and test Web services for DB2 data. In the tutorial, you'll create a sample four-tier application that includes a portal site for selling used cars. The portal site searches a list of used car dealership sites as a Web service client and provides the results to the customer. The sample application also includes the used car dealership site for dealerships to take part in the portal site. The dealership site uses a servlet to perform a search of the cars on the lot from the information stored in a DB2 UDB V8 database.

Application logging using solidDB, WebSphere Message Broker, and DB2
pureXML
Because of its flexibility and its presence in many application
environments, XML is becoming the preferred log format. In this article,
you'll learn how to easily set up an application logging environment by
bringing the XML features of WebSphere and DB2 together. We first introduce a
simple application logging scenario, then show how to use solidDB for caching
and decoupling the application from the logging infrastructure. WebSphere
Message Queue and WebSphere Message Broker will be used to reliably move the
log messages from the application to DB2, where they can be stored and queried
using the pureXML functionality. To normalize different message formats,
WebSphere Message Broker will also be used to transform log files to other XML
formats prior to storing them into DB2.

Arduino is an inexpensive, easy-to-use electronics platform. The entire platform, both the hardware and the software, is completely open source, and the language is loosely based on C/C++. Arduino was built for makers, tinkerers, and artists who want to take the plunge into creating interactive physical objects. This three-part series starts with basic Arduino hardware and uses it to create an interactive laser game called "'Duino tag," where players can play tag using devices built nearly from scratch. Here in Part 1 of this "Building an Arduino-based laser game", we craft basic experiments that prepare us for and are a part of 'Duino tag.

Automate software release management and deployment
The development of software applications is an evolutionary process, moving towards some predetermined end goals. These goals are usually in the form of a release, either internal or external, to deliver a set of required functionality. Software release management is often a manual and laborious process and consequently, sometimes error prone. In this tutorial you will learn how to use IBM Rational ClearCase, ClearQuest, and Unified Change Management to automate the construction and documentation of releases. You'll also learn how to use IBM Tivoli Configuration Manager to transition (deploy) the releases.

Autonomic Computing Expression Language
This tutorial shows how to use the Autonomic Computing Expression Language (ACEL), an XML-based expression language, to create an expression, parse it, prepare input for it, and evaluate it. ACEL was originally developed as a part of the Autonomic Computing Policy Language to describe conditions when a policy should be applied to a managed system. To learn more about how policies can be used to manage an IT system, download IBM Policy Management for Autonomic Computing (PMAC) from alphaWorks. However, ACEL is applicable in many other contexts such as specifying service level agreements, pricing, scheduling, and provisioning of services. In general, ACEL can be used to specify various types of expressions (numeric expression, Boolean expression, string expression, and so on) in XML documents.

Hit the ground running with AIDE, Part 7: Better IT management
The IBM Autonomic Integrated Development Environment (AIDE) facilitates a model-driven approach to touchpoint development, which is a useful, factory-style, wizard-assisted pattern for producing generic touchpoints. However, at some point in the AIDE-driven workflow, the touchpoint must be made specific to a given application. You can do this either at the model design stage or manually through hard-coding. In this tutorial -- the seventh in the series -- discover techniques for creating both generic and specific touchpoints, and learn how to produce touchpoints that have the right mixture for a given management application.

Build Comet applications using Scala, Lift, and jQuery
Web applications have gotten more and more advanced, and users are always
expecting more out of them. One of the most advanced features is Comet, also
known as reverse Asynchronous JavaScript and XML (Ajax) or server-side push. Comet allows for browser-based instant
messaging, real-time stock quotes, and so on. Advanced Ajax libraries, such as
jQuery, make
it easy to write Comet applications on the client side, but getting them to scale
on the server is still a challenge. That is where the Scala programming language
and the Lift Web application framework can step in and deliver a scalable
back end for your Comet application. In this tutorial, build a
real-time Web auction using these technologies.
