| Summary: | Extensible Markup Language (XML) and the XML Path Language (XPath) are introduced with software examples demonstrating how one can use them to write laboratory data management programs. Topics explored include XML document creation, manipulation, and searching. Programming examples make use of the Microsoft' XML Parser library and the Visual Basic programming language. The problem of managing microplate screening data is used as an illustration. Source code for all examples can be downloaded from http://www.labprogrammer.net. |
