A busy few months since my last post, working outside the field of software, but I’m back.
Right now, I am working on three different XBRL training courses – for managers, developers and taxonomists – and it looks like I may be traveling to consult in the Antipodes and the Caribbean…
If time allows, I plan some XBRL tutorials…
When you find yourself schema validating in an XML IDE – I mention no names – and the error messages make no sense, use Xerces2 Java instead. Alternatively, use XSV or even Microsoft’s MSXML.
Certain XML IDEs have extremely poor schema implementations. This is unfortunate because they make it so very use to use schema validation and therefore stretched developers will use and trust these poor implementations.
You can ask me for help on this subject, but try Xerces2 Java first.
