Book Description
She kissed a stranger on Valentine’s Day. To most women, that probably wasn’t a big deal. But for Chelsea Henderson, it was everything. The type of moment she read about in romance books. A perfect fantasy when that tall, handsome stranger pulled her into his arms, told her she was beautiful, and kissed her in the moonlight until her insides ached for more. Granted, it was to prove a point to his clingy ex, but aside from that minor detail, their kiss, her first kiss since high school, was absolute perfection. A picture-perfect way to start her new life and job after leaving the Army with more internal than external scars to show for her time in service. But her mystery man with a gorgeous smile and strong shoulders doesn’t remain anonymous for long. It’s Blake Rossi. Self-made millionaire. Co-owner of Rossi Construction. And to make her embarrassment complete, he returns to Virginia expecting to resume his position as the company’s accountant. Too bad his family failed to let him know they gave away his job...to Chelsea. Be My Valentine is the fourth book in the Rossi Family Series. It’s a contemporary romance about a woman finding her way after nearly two decades in the military, a man discovering love again, and a hilarious family who gets into the middle of everything.

XML Schemas
Author: Chelsea Valentine
Publisher: Sybex
ISBN: 0782152449
Category : Computers
Languages : en
Pages : 656
Book Description
Whether it is used for web development, creating documentation, or exchanging data between business partners, XML continues to grow in importance as a highly flexible document-design and data-modeling tool. Despite the limitations of using SGML Document Type Definitions (DTDs) to define document structures, XML has made inroads wherever data must flow among disparate platforms. The Schema specification has achieved W3C recommendation status, providing an alternative to DTDs that enables you to precisely structure XML data. But using the Schema Language does more than provide a more powerful way of defining data; it's also a better way because it uses XML's structure, syntax, and namespaces, instead of those derived from the complex SGML. XML Schemas introduces you to this elegant new technology, which brings the power of data modeling and data structuring to XML. A truly practical book has to give you more than just the details on syntax and semantics, examples of constructs and datatypes, and instruction in standard procedures. You get all that, but you'll also find lots of expert tips and techniques for document modeling, all reinforced with practical, real-world examples. Even as you're discovering the advantages of XML Schema, you'll learn about the continuing use of DTDs. In some situations -- when designing document-oriented XML, for example -- DTDs might still be the way to go. You'll learn about visual XML Schema tools, but you'll also see how setting out armed with just a text editor gives you insights you might not acquire otherwise. It won't be long before you're developing your own XML Schema documents, using the power of XML to structure data for seamless, cross-platform exchange.
