The X-Factor: Implications for Internet Programming Today and Tomorrow

Internet programming is leaving the simple and sometime loose programming path of the HTML era. Newer structures are more disciplined, browser and platform independent, and demand a new set of skills and programming knowledge. Using a simple HTML table, the following pages present an overview of the transformations that will soon be used to display this table and its contents. Structures, with X- names, from (X)HTML through XML, XSL(T) and XSL(FO), are presented in programming examples. The result is a demonstration, based upon examples, of where the X-Factor is taking Internet programming. Implications for practice and pedagogy are then summarized at the end of the paper.

Keywords: Internet programming, Internet development, XML, XHTML, XSL
