My main gripe is that it is very generic. What I like about the GN tutorials (including your Java ones ;) ) is that they work towards a specific goal and you pick up plenty of transferable skills on the way. So what I'd like to see is: 'Parsing the XML Data Feed: An introduction to using the Expat functions' In which you: 1. Outline the problem - Amazon have an XML feed - how do I get my hands on it in a usable form; the solution: Use Expat 2. Give an overview of how the Amazon feed is contsructed and outline theoretically how we would want to get at the information. 3. Then give details of how the Expat functions work to acheive this task 4. Draw the elements together to show how a simple script can be constructed to do this. 5. Draw the threads together in a conclusion with links to further resources. Each one of those would be around a page (although 4 might make 2 pages) - you would work to achieve a very specific (and important) aim whilst learning the skills to apply this to other XML feeds and on a broader scale to parse XML files in general. Anyway just my thoughts - it would be a very interesting and important (and popular) tutorial. ___________________ Emps FAQs: [url=http://faq.ozoneasylum.com/53/]Emperor[/url] Loading...
