Build a Support Knowledge Base using DB2 pureXML and PHP
Creating applications that use a hybrid of relational data and XML data is easy thanks to
the pureXML feature of IBM DB2 database servers.
In this tutorial, you use PHP to create a Web application that connects to an IBM DB2 Express-C
database and stores some of its data in traditional relational database columns, and some of it in native XML columns.
You also learn how to use SQL/XML queries to retrieve, insert, update, and delete data from this database.
Beyond the hands-on, project-based training, the tutorial equips you with the skills
and conceptual knowledge you need to develop your own hybrid applications.

ICEfaces and Google Translate
Globalization has had an enormous impact on our lives and cultures. As a
result, translation is becoming an increasingly important tool to enhance
understanding between cultures. Organizations try to use Web technologies with
different languages, scripts, and cultures, and developers search for new
technologies that will help them create efficient applications as quickly as
possible. Fortunately, JavaServer Faces (JSF) simplifies life for application developers, making it
possible for them to focus on the view without needing to know the underlying
markup or scripts. ICEfaces, an integrated Asynchronous JavaScript and XML (Ajax)
application framework, enables Java Platform, Enterprise Edition (Java EE) application developers to easily create and deploy thin-client,
rich Internet applications in pure Java code. This tutorial describes how to develop Web applications using
JSF with the translation option.

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.

JiBX 1.2, Part 1: Java code to XML schema
XML schema definitions are the basis for many types of data exchanges, including most forms of Web services. But XML Schema is a complex standard, and most tools for creating and modifying schema definitions are not as powerful or easy to use as those for working with Java code. The new features of JiBX 1.2 let you start from Java code and easily generate quality schema definitions to match your data structures. You can then use the schemas directly, whether you use JiBX data binding or not.

JiBX 1.2, Part 2: XML schema to Java code
Code generation from XML schema definitions is widely used for all types of XML data exchange, including Web services. Most data-binding tools rigidly structure generated code based on the schema, even aspects of the schema that may be irrelevant to your application. JiBX 1.2 generates cleaner code by doing a better job of interpreting the schema and eliminating unnecessary class clutter. It also provides extensive customizations for the generated code, including customizations for easily eliminating unnecessary components of the schema.

Building an Arduino-based laser game, Part 3: Transmit, and that's a hit
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. In this final part of the "Building an Arduino-based laser game" series, you'll build the transmitter and complete the 'Duino Tag gun.

Create BlackBerry applications with open source tools, Part 2: Building an RSS reader
In the same way that open source has revolutionized the software development marketplace,
the proliferation of alternative news sources has shaken up the traditional news-source monopolies. Today, you can get free news from various Internet sources and from the Internet outlets of the mainstream
media. Trekking from one Web site to another to read news stories is possible, but
tedious. And what about updates to
news stories of interest? Wouldn't it be better if the news of interest is
aggregated for your convenience? You can do it with an RSS reader for BlackBerry.
Here in Part 2 of this "Create BlackBerry applications with open source tools" series, explore the RSS data-distribution format by creating a BlackBerry RSS reader suitable for taking news wherever you and your BlackBerry go.

Create and deploy Data Web Services on WebSphere DataPower XI50 Integration Appliance
IBM Data Studio Developer comes with a capability (called
Data Web Services) which allows you to define Web services based on database
operations. This procedure is driven by metadata and supported by tooling so that no code
generation is required and no deployment artifacts need to be written by hand. Data Studio generates runtime artifacts for those services which can be deployed into an application server environment. Runtime artifacts for different environments can be generated since the service definition and public
interface (WSDL) are abstract and completely independent from the service implementation.
With IBM Data Studio Developer 1.2 (or later), the WebSphere DataPower XI50 Integration Appliance
is supported as another runtime environment besides the traditional J2EE application
servers. This tutorial shows you how to use Data Studio to generate Data Web service
runtime artifacts for DataPower. Additionally, learn how those artifacts can be deployed on an IBM WebSphere DataPower XI50 Integration Appliance.

Develop eSWT-based applications for the Nokia S60 smartphone
The Java Platform, Micro Edition (Java ME) is a ubiquitous application platform for embedded devices, and many modern mobile phones are capable of running these types of applications. The embedded Standard Widget Toolkit, or eSWT, is an Eclipse technology that can be used to develop native-looking Java applications for a variety of mobile phones. eSWT is developed as part of the embedded Rich Client Platform (eRCP) project, which as a whole is only supported on devices running Microsoft Windows Mobile and Windows CE operating system. However, standalone eSWT libraries are available on all devices running a recent version of Nokia's S60 platform, currently one of the leading smartphone platforms in the world. This tutorial demonstrates how to develop eSWT-based applications with the help of the newly released Eclipse Mobile Tools for Java (MTJ) and Nokia's S60 Platform SDK.
