Google Chrome is out, brand new and shiny, and with its launch a new set of standards for all web browsers is implemented for both end users and developers. At this moment the Internet is flooded with details and info on Google’s newest and hottest application designed to link the user to the pool of information on the web. Unlike successful browsers such as Mozilla Firefox, Opera and even Internet Explorer, Google’s approach in building Chrome differs in that the app is built from scratch without giving in to formalities (that is why, at first use, most users will waste time looking for the menu bar). The program seems as if all the features were added as soon as the tester needed them. None of its features are unnecessary or redundant in terms of access.

XML is a text based programming language. Therefore, the code can be written in a standard text editor. There are applications available specifically written for XML, but I have always used an enhanced shareware version of Notepad. If code is saved with a txt extension, rename with an xml extension. XML gauges usually consist of the xml file and bmp (bitmap) files, although gauges without bitmaps are quite common.

While the software provides enough to produce high quality voice applications out of the box, many users will want to extend the functionality of the software by building custom components that perform very specific tasks. This document describes the processes and application programming interfaces (APIs) provided for a developer to construct and deploy these components.

Modern Geographical Information Systems (GIS) [1] provide a service-oriented architecture for interacting with geographical data sets and related maps. Web-based GIS systems are architected around the same principles as more general Web service systems based on SOAP [2], WSDL [3], and REST. Mirroring the World Wide Web Consortium and OASIS Web service standards-making bodies, the Open Geospatial Consortium [5] defines open standards for messages, XML data formats, and access protocols that are specific to the GIS community. In addition to OGC-based services, there are many companies (such as ESRI and AutoDesk) that provide proprietary, commercial solutions. Services from these various providers are not normally interoperable.

Most Latin-based European languages were supported in LATEX by introducing the T1 font encoding and by using the fontenc and inputenc packages; these use only standard TEX means to support any 8-bit input encoding and this one standard font encoding. The restriction to a single font encoding guarantees that multiple languages can happily coexist in one document (e.g., hyphenation will be correct for all languages).
