"I have been using OmniMark for a decade to solve many different kinds
of information management problems. When OmniMark Technologies
Corporation added features to their excellent language that allowed
server functionality and database access, OmniMark became an even
better, more powerful platform for data processing. When they made it
free, it made me wonder why anyone is still using Perl.
I have used OmniMark as a very stable middle-tier programming language
that is lightning fast, scaleable, and really fun to use. The language
has a certain elegance that, once you learn how to `think OmniMark',
you never want to even consider the alternatives. The native
hierarchical architecture of the language, plus its luxuriously rich
pattern matching syntax and support for structured information using XML
and SGML parsing, make OmniMark a real joy.
"This book covers the core language, plus practical examples for common
Internet programming applications. OmniMark is such a powerful program
that I can't think of any Internet programming problem that can't be
solved with OmniMark. This book makes that clear in real, understandable
terms."

Started and XML and SOAP Programming for Biz-Talk(R) Servers
"OmniMark has been the secret weapon of markup language programmers
since the earliest days of SGML. Its new XML support should bring it to
a far wider audience."
-Charles F. Goldfarb, is the inventor of SGML and author of The
XML Handbook.
