The game [Sudoku] is over. XForms is in serious [accounting] business.

This six-part series demonstrates how to leverage the power of XForms in conjunction with MySQL and PHP to create an online accounting tool called X-Trapolate. Every good programming technology possesses a range of problems it excels at solving. This series highlights some of the problems that the XForms solves effectively, such as the need for live calculations and greater interactivity. Part 6 of this six-part series takes a final review and lessons learned approach, making sure there are no gaps in the final application and looking at future possibilities.

XForms and the Chasm What XForms Need to Become a Mainstream Technology

Moore also noted that both early late majority buyers would be more willing to use a technology if it was buried deeply in a complete solution. That way the IT managers don’t have to sell the technology to management, just the solution. Similarly, once third party developers start building accounting or complete solutions for vertical industry using XForms the buyer will not need to know or care how the solution is being delivered.

XTech2007 - XMLForms - do I need them?

Now in XTech2007 - arrived in time for the afternoon session of XMLForms by Steve Pemberton. XMLForms allow you to pass XML into/out of forms rather than relying on HTML. In includes things like validation - if you tell it something is a date, t5hen you can check in makes sense as a date. And there’s stuff about credit cards, etc. So it makes sense to adapt them for - say - chemistry so that we can check data and molecules on submission.
