~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~ 2. DHTML LAB: Introduction to IE Data Binding

Perfect for intranets, data binding builds pages on the client using HTML merged with data, as the data is being transmitted. Combined with DHTML this means faster, more interactive pages for your users. By guest writers Ian McArdle and Paul Thomas.

~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~ 6. NET NEWS: Fall Internet World 2000, The Revolution that Failed, Java Will Displace WAP: Gartner, A Matter of (Wired News) Style

>Fall Internet World 2000

Live coverage of Penton Media's Internet World in New York, from internetnews.com's IWLive. http://www.internetnews.com/iwlive/fall00/

>The Revolution that Failed

AT&T spent millions launching a secret Internet project, wider in scope than anything the company has ever attempted. The project, known by the code name Geoplex, was designed to build a universal software platform for the Internet. Then it all fell apart. http://www.thestandard.com/article/display/0,1151,19483,00.html The Industry Standard, 001023

>Java Will Displace WAP: Gartner

Wireless Application Protocol (WAP) will be replaced by Java as higher speed mobile services become available according to Nick Jones from Gartner, but for now it remains a viable tactical choice. http://www.allnetdevices.com/wireless/news/2000/10/23/java_will.html AllNetDevices.com, 001023

>A Matter of (Wired News) Style

Should e-mail be hyphenated, or not? It's not a question that ranks with "Should we end world hunger?" perhaps, but it's a more important issue than you may realize. At Wired News, it's a dilemma that has vexed the editors for some time. But no more. http://www.wired.com/news/culture/0,1284,39450,00.html Wired.com, 001023

That's it for this week, see you next time.
