noob question on Altova XMLSpy

by d.maly＠ieee.org

I'm trying to install Altova XMLSpy, following instructions at http://www.altova.com/support_platform_linux.html and saw the comment: "Copy the complete 2006 Relewase 4 installation directory from Windows to the Linux partition (this avoids any installer-related issues); this should be an installation where you have already requested/purchased and entered a key-code, because the key-code request mechanism doesn’t currently work under WINE." so I guess I follow the rules and enter the key-code I have in hand using Windows to enter the key-code, then "Copy the complete 2006 ..." etc etc Any better ideas?

REMINDER: WLUG Meeting THIS WED Oct 11th 7PM

by Andy Stewart

-----BEGIN PGP SIGNED MESSAGE----- Hash: SHA1 HI gang, This is a friendly reminder about the upcoming WLUG meeting, to be held THIS WED Oct 11th, 7:00 PM in the Access Grid Room on the WPI campus in Worcester, MA USA. At this meeting, our guest speaker will be WLUG member Doug Aker. The topic will be Scalable Vector Graphics (SVG). === Abstract === How an average programmer, after discovering SVG, used zLinux, perl, XML, XSLT, HTML, JavaScript and, above all, SVG to create an interactive browser-based application to visualize client-server connections. See how Doug's odyssey into open languages led him through the lands of information theory, graph theory, set theory and data visualization. Find out why his wife and kids run out of the room whenever he starts talking about SVG. Like you, Doug has sat and snoozed through many slide presentations, and vows *not* to make this yet another PowerPoint-like affair. Please attend. Doug is comfortable with large crowds. Doug Aker has been doing application and tech support work at Verizon Communications for 21 years. ===End Abstract === After the meeting, we'll adjourn to the Tech Pizza restaurant on Highland Street for pizza, soda, and more tech talk! See ya there!

Re: [Wlug] Wednesday's WLUG - noob question on XML editor

by douglas.r.aker＠verizon.com

Hi Doug, My efforts with XML have involved XML generation (using perl programs) and XML transformations (using xsltproc). I haven't had much experience with a manually operated XML editor. I did like the free pspad program a lot though: www.pspad.com. Also, on Suse Linux there's the KXML editor.

My question is: what's your favorite editor for XML? My past experience with HTML has been with Mozilla editors in Windows, and I find them to be adequate (and free).

Re: [Wlug] Wednesday's WLUG - noob question on XML editor

by Lee Keyser-Allen

I found a phenomenal one called the Altova XML Suite which has a free 'home' version (which I've not played with). The version I used was the enterprise one, and it did everything I wanted in an editor, including giving me lots of graphical feedback and it managed schemas and stylesheets in a clean and well organized blend of graphical interpretations and text. The non-free version, however, is very non-free (~$1000 for the 'pro' suite and ~$1800 for the 'enterprise' suite.) I've also used, with some good success, Architag XRay XML editor which had a very good, entirely text based suite that was free. I did have problems that some of the more quirky and poorly defined parts of the schema I was writing worked differently in XRay's native interpreter than in Xerces (or was it Xalan ... it was a little while ago), which I was using to do some validation. I've also heard that oXygen is supposed to be good (although, they didn't have a demo last I looked, so I haven't looked any closer than that.) I'm very interested if others have had good experience with any free (or less non-free) tools. You can find out more about Altova at www.altova.com. Hope that is somewhat helpful ...

Please attend this Wednesday's WLUG, and bring your friends

by douglas.r.aker＠verizon.com

Hi All: Just wanted to let everyone know that I'm working hard to make my preso at this Wednesday's WLUG meeting (October 11) interesting, informative, innovative. Something different, without being annoying. Bring any of your friends that might be interested in data visualization, web design, XML, SVG, etc. During the preso, interrupt me with questions as much as you want, and make a mental note where my presentation isn't clear or drags. I'm hoping to get as much feedback as possible so that the next time I present this topic it will be better. Thanks, Doug
