Excellent introduction to XForms

Those of us that have been programming for decades remember the times when a form for data entry was created by writing the code. It was a slow, tedious and error prone process.

It enables the developers to design simple, yet powerful and feature rich, browser-based interfaces for creating XML documents. It ensures the validity of the XML documents without the use of JavaScript, VBScripts and the entire headache and cumbersome that comes along...
