Micah Dubinko publishes book with O'Reilly & Associates to provide developers with a guide to developing Web-based forms for a wide variety of platforms
San Diego, CA - 2003-09-08 - Cardiff Software Inc., a leading global provider of data capture and eForm solutions for the enterprise, today announced the release of XForms Essentials, a book authored by XML Expert and Cardiff Principal Software Engineer, Micah Dubinko. As a member of the World Wide Web Consortium (W3C) XForms Working Group and a lead editor of the XForms Proposed Recommendation, Dubinko has teamed with publisher O'Reilly & Associates to introduce a practical guide for developing solutions designed to eliminate the dependence on proprietary electronic forms technologies.
In XForms Essentials, Dubinko explains how readers can take advantage of XForms without having to write their own complex script. This book describes in detail how to integrate XForms with XHTML and other XML vocabularies, as well as how XForms can simplify the connection between client-based user input and server-based processing. Additionally, the full text of the book can be found online under an open content license on Dubinko's Web site: http://dubinko.info/writing/xforms/.
The use of forms on the Web has become a commonplace practice where most user interactions involve some type of form. XForms, a combination of XML and forms, offers a powerful alternative to HTML-based forms. By providing excellent XML integration, XForms allows developers to create flexible, Web-based user interfaces for a wide variety of platforms, including desktop computers, handheld devices, information appliances, cell phones, assistive technologies such as screen readers and more.
Cardiff Software is a committee member of the W3C XForms Working Group and believes in the value XForms brings to a Web-enabled world. The W3C offers an open alternative to proprietary form formats and suggests an end to historical client-server "filler" approaches to eForms. An international industry consortium, the W3C was created to lead the Web to its full potential by developing common protocols that promote its evolution and ensure its interoperability.
"This book provides software engineers and Web developers with the tools to standardize on how XML and online forms interoperate, eliminating the dependency on vendor implementations and proprietary technologies," said Micah Dubinko, author of XForms Essentials. "With strong support from business and open source implementers of the XForms Proposed Recommendation, I realized that it was extremely important to document this open approach and make it available to the public."
About Micah Dubinko
Micah is a software engineer living in Phoenix, Arizona with his wife and child, and working for Cardiff Software in San Diego. He serves as an editor and author of the W3C XForms specification, and has participated in the XForms effort since September 1999, nine months before the official Working Group was chartered. He was awarded CompTIA CDIA (Certified Document Imaging Architect) certification in January 2001.
Micah has been programming since the 3rd grade, when he taught himself BASIC on a Timex/Sinclair computer with 2KB of memory. Roughly in order, some of his on-the-job accomplishments include designing and writing a 16-way multitasking communication server under DOS, porting biomed cardiac analysis software to Windows, redesiging the electronics in the front-end of a cardiac "Holter" monitor, debugging an embedded USB driver, writing a high-speed data entry system in MFC, spending time in product management, and most recently designing a cross-browser, plugin-free transformation and scripting framework for forms. In his spare time, he writes magazine articles and participates on XMLhack.com and exslt.org.
