What are the advantages and risks of XML in Enterprise Development? 

 XML receives abundant press as the language for new distributed business applications.  Providing cross-platform communication, standardization, and data-driven design, XML cannot be ignored.  Microsoft’s .NET platform offers us a suite of distributed and Internet technologies, including XML.  We’ll explore those technologies, their advantages, their challenges, and their risks:  

  • Business Examples
  • Web Services vs. Remoting
  • Cross-Platform Examples
  • .NET Framework
  • When is XML Overkill?
