This article aims to explain what an XPath expression is and why they can be extremely useful to a C# programmer.

Background

When I first started .NET programming I was immediately exposed to the use of XML It was everywhere, and I had hardly any exposure to it previously. After understanding why XML documents were used so widely, I took the decision to incorporate XML files into my next application. So off I went, added the System.Xml namespace to my project and created an XmlDocument object. I called the LoadXml() method and passed in a valid XML string. "Great!" I thought, but soon discovered I had no idea how I would get the data I wanted out of the XmlDocument object.

Submission + - RMS Talks about Binary Drivers and Open Source

An anonymous reader writes: Newsforge has an article about a talk RMS recently gave to students at UCSD. RMS fielded a number of interesting questions relevant to the future of the free software movement including, "Do you support the Creative Commons license?" and "Can I use ATI and NVIDIA drivers because Mesa isn't nearly as complete?". Can we expect Linux ever to see main stream adoption with these persistent driver and licensing issues still hanging around?
