[aclug-L] Re: Aclug Meeting (XML Presentation)

[John Reinke <jmreinke@xxxxxxxxx>]

Too bad I don't live around there anymore. I'd like to go to this to see
what xml tools are available for Linux. It sounds like most people use
Microsoft's free parser, IE for browsing, and almost all programming is
done in Java. I use neither Microsoft nor Java, so I've starting using the
Apache group's C++ parser, and plain text editors for creating the xml/dtd
files.

Without spoiling the presentation for those who can attend, what xml tools
have Linux people been using?

Thanks,
John
