Course Description:

'' Students Will Learn:XML Syntax
DTDs and Schemas
Namespaces and Scoping
XPATH and XSLT
XSL Format Objects
SOAP and Web Services
DOM and SAX Parsing

Description: This hands on XML programming class presents a thorough introduction to creating, validating, transforming, transporting and formatting XML data. The course covers structuring data with XML; validating that data with document type definitions (DTDs) and schemas; creating and viewing XML documents; transforming XML documents with the XML Stylesheet Language (XSL, XSLT and XPATH); use of XML in the deployment of Web Services; referencing XML data via the document object model (DOM) and parsing libraries; and parsing XML via the Simple API for XML (SAX). The course will also focus on creating, validating and transforming data in a Java or .NET application development environment. Extensive examples and demos are provided, as well as comprehensive hands on lab exercises that reinforce the concepts being taught and introduce the practical application of XML to business problems.

Prerequisites: Experience with a programming or scripting language, such as Java, JavaScript, VB or C# is helpful but not necessary.
