  • A Tale of Two Webs

    Editor Note: This was first publishing Nov. 23, 2009.

    And no. I'm not going to start out with "It was the best of times, it was the worst of times". But I will tell you what kind of time it was.

    It was a big damn Gold Rush.

    As gold rushes tend to do, it made a mess of a lot of things; some got rich and most didn't, and those who were already wealthy figured out how to take advantage of the situation. And there's one other major thing that gold rushes do: they tend to tilt balances.

  • Creating a File Upload Widget for eXist and XQuery

    Editor Note: This was originally published 30 October 2009.

    One of the more problematic issues involved with working with XML Databases is what may seem to be relatively simple - getting files into the database in the first place. This was one of the challenges that was put to me by Dan McCreary for a series of open source applications that he's developing around the eXist XML database as part of his efforts with Syntactica. While you can use WebDAV (and in general probably should for production level work), a generalized file uploader web app is also possible, and serves to illustrate how you can actually create some very powerful tools with application vendor augmented XQuery. Note that the examples given here are all built around the eXist-db XML Database. It's definitely possible to do similar applications using the MarkLogic database, though I'll leave this as an exercise for a future article.
