(Ty Anderson) It's all XML these days and Microsoft Office is no exception. Microsoft has steadily increased the level of XML support within Office in each release of the product since Office 2000. In fact, XML is so central to the Office development platform that XML will be the default file format of Office "12" when it is released next year. Clearly, XML is a "must know" for anyone looking to develop on the Office platform in the future.
This is great but there are already extensive XML capabilities in Office and today we will open up the SpreadsheetML Schema (aka Excel XML Schema) and dive in to see how far we can get in the next 30 minutes. |
