Module 2: Basic XML
The following topics are covered in this module:

The Form of XML
Designing an XML Vocabulary
Namespaces
After completing this module, you will be able to, given a set of data requirements based on a real-world application, design an XML document that conforms to the formal rules of XML and satisfies requirements.

Module 3: Validating XML
The following topics are covered in this module:

Introducing Validation
Using XSD Schemas
After completing this module, you will be able to, given an instance document of moderate complexity, for example one that represents a purchase order, develop an XML schema to validate it.

Module 4: Technologies for Handling XML Data
The following topics are covered in this module:

Metadata and XML Processing
XML Processing Technologies
After completing this module, you will be able to identify situations where you need to use DOM, XPath, XSLT, and XQuery.

Module 5: Creating and Manipulating Trees Using DOM
The following topics are covered in this module:

How Does DOM Work? Using the DOM
Using DOM and the .NET Framework XML Classes
After completing this module, you will be able to use DOM and DOM trees and identify the ways that you can and cannot use DOM to manipulate XML documents.

Module 6: Using XPath to Navigate a Tree of Nodes
The following topics are covered in this module:

What is XPath?
Using XPath
XPath and Other Technologies
After completing this module, you will be able to use XPath to navigate XML documents and select content in XML documents and identify how it can be used by other XML technologies.

Module 7: Formatting and Transforming: XSL and XSLT
The following topics are covered in this module:

Defining XSL
Transforming XML Using XSLT
XSLT in the Microsoft .NET Framework
After completing this module, you will be able to use XSLT technologies to control XML presentation and to perform XML transformations.

Module 8: Using XQuery to Link and Query XML Documents
The following topics are covered in this module:

What is XQuery?
Using XQuery
After completing this module, you will be able to design basic XQuery expressions and apply them to XML sources.

Module 9: SQL XML
The following topics are covered in this module:

XML Support in SQL Server 2000
Using HTTP to Access and Input XML Data
After completing this module, you will be able to describe how SQL Server 2000 implements XML support through Interface Server Application Programming Interface (ISAPI) and how to use this capability to manipulate SQL Server 2000 data by using XML.

Module 10: The Challenge of Designing XML Solutions
The following topics are covered in this module:

Solutions that Use XML
XML Web Services
What Is Next?
