Manisha is the Project Lead R&D, XML Technology Group at Quark India (www.quark.com). In a career spanning seven years, she has been instrumental in design and development of various XML related applications based on C/C++ on platforms such as Windows and Macintosh. After graduating in Computer Science Engineering in 1996, Manisha joined Tata Infotech Ltd. where she worked on system software development. Her interest in publishing product development moved her into Quark Inc. who is a leading developer of tools and technologies for desktop, workgroup, and enterprise publishing. Quark has been providing award-winning software for professional publishers since its flagship product QuarkXPress changed the course of traditional publishing.At Quark, Manisha plays the lead role in formulating Quark's XML strategy and is responsible for specs formulation, design and development of software required for realizing XML workflow in Publishing Houses such as Pearson. With the latest version of QuarkXPress 6.0, she delivered a set of XML enhancements to the two most successful and well known XPress' XML XTensions, XML Import XT and Avenue which import and export XML data to and from QuarkXPress respectively. She is currently engaged in providing a DOM interface to QuarkXPress, by way of which XPress' XTension developers would be able program on XPress through an XML based API. The new interface poses great challenges in terms of its ability to replace the earlier one, which is being used since more than a decade now by millions of XTension developers.
