Balisage Rehearsal and Social Hours

The Balisage Rehearsal There will be 4 "pre-conference Tech-Testing and Social Hour" sessions. Each will include a short presentation or two, opportunities for questions and answers, and participant interaction. These sessions are for participants to check out the conference portal and their technology and connectivity; to get familiar with getting to Balisage sessions, and asking questions; a time to solve any technology problems. We hope it will also be fun!

The pre-conference Tech-Testing and Social Hours are open to everyone registered for Balisage and to their guests. Registered attendees will access these session through the conference portal (just as regular conference sessions will be accessed). Registered attendees can request free passes for guests they think will be interested in the presentations at the rehearsal by sending email with the guest's name and email address to info@balisage.net

The detailed schedule and speakers for the Rehearsal and Social House are not yet available.

    • Topic: Between SAX and DOM
      There are two main ways to process XML documents: as a stream of SAX events or as a DOM tree. Both can process any document, but they have their good and bad points. SAX processing makes user code maintain its own state; a DOM tree requires the entire document to be in memory at one time. But by applying design principles that have been half-forgotten for more than fifty years, a subset of XML documents that meet specific constraints can use what I call HDB (hierarchical database) processing. It's easier to use than SAX, but uses less memory than DOM. This talk is a quick introduction to what HDB documents look like and how they can be efficiently processed.
