This paper will identify XML and XSLT as ideal tools for separating content and presentation, and show how these technologies can be used to overcome the inherent difficulties associated with the presentation of data to devices with limited capabilities.

Learn how to build live XML data-driven Web solutions by editing and presenting live XML data on the Web, making the data available for easy, wide consumption. See how you can create Web pages with live views on XML data from a range of data sources including XML data from Office documents, spreadsheets, and XML forms, XML from OLEDB databases, XML Web services, and data from SharePoint lists, and doc libraries.

This is the first installment of "Working XML", a column with companion project code that demonstrates the evolution of full-fledged XML applications. This column introduces XM (XSLT Make), a simple and affordable Web publishing content-management solution that takes advantage of XML and XSLT. Code samples show the development of a wrapper for the XSLT to make it easy for a nonprogrammer to use. XM project code is available by link.
