Java Script, JSON and XML coding

Post by LasseThid »

Does anyone know where one can find good tools/books for learning Java Script, JSON and XML coding?

I'm finding I need more and more coding skills for building flows in Switch and the last time I learned programming was back in the 80's... :lol:

For a novice the book series "For Dummies" is a good start and will give you the simple basics and you will come a long way with them.

For XML it is more to learn XSLT for cleaning up and getting the info you really need in to a new useful XML. For example if you ask pdfToolbox if a PDF is PDF/X4 you can get a report in XML, that XML will be over 4000 lines of XML and you maybe need just a few of them for your purpose.

XSLT is also very useful when you get information about jobs from the outside and you need the basic information to use in Switch.

Good luck

Hi

Javascript:

https://www.amazon.in/Object-oriented-J ... 987&sr=1-5
Or

JSON:
Well there isn't much to learn as it's all but a Javascript Object

XML/XSLT
MMM. Problem of books is that they will cover every single aspects of XML ending with 400p+ books. But XML/XPATH can also be learned with basic tutorials. I mean if it's all about processing XML inside switch or PitStop Server, you don't need to become a XML guru ;)

Thanks for the suggestions.

I ordered XML For Dummies and XSLT for Dummies, which should get me going.... :lol:
