a little XML knowledge
A couple weeks ago, I had an XML class at work through ExecuTrain. Justin B was the teacher and he did a good job of covering the topic in the time given (which sadly, was not terribly adequate). It provided me another tool to work with in the design of Flip. I have almost completed an XML schema based off the Flip Data Structure definition. I should have it up sometime later today. There will be some modifications from the data structure definition (meaning I will need to go back and modify the DSD as well), but I think I am moving in the right direction with the design.A couple of changes that are being made to the data structure include removing the security, the results, and the Leitner progression from the data definition (as these will be stored either locally or online, but not with the file), and removing formatting tags from the data definition (as they really do not define the data but rather mark it up). I will probably break these elements out in separate documents.
And, in case you have not noticed, I updated the design of the blog. The header is a bit generic, but more appropriate for my focus on my design and development efforts than the previous BYU Cougars banner. You may also note that I now have a button for LinkedIn. If you happen across this blog and are interested in following the progression of these efforts, feel free to join my network, but let me know who you are and what your interest in joining my network is. Otherwise, feel free to join in the discussion and add comments to my blog. Thanks for visiting!
