  • Webcast: Centralized build management
    Does centralizing build and release management really make sense for geographically distributed organizations? Most companies today have very decentralized, uncontrolled policies and practices in place to manage the build and release process. So while organizations have invested substantially in source code configuration management systems and automated testing systems, the bridge between them has largely been left to manual and ad-hoc practices. Join us for this Rational Delivery Platform webcast to find out how centralized build management can be a reality for geographically distributed organizations.

  • Locate specific sections of your XML documents with XPath, Part 1
    XML is a data format concerned primarily with compatibility and flexibility. But as useful as XML is, it's limited without the abilities to find specific portions of a document quickly and to filter and selectively locate data within a document.
