Course Description:

'' Students Will Learn:XML Syntax
DTDs and Schemas
Namespaces and Scoping
XSLT and XPath
XSL Format Objects

Description: This hands on XML course presents a thorough introduction to creating, validating, transforming, 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; and transforming XML documents with the XML Stylesheet Language (XSL, XSLT and XPATH). 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.

Students interested in additional coverage of programming issues including Web Services, DOM parsing, and SAX parsing should instead register for the 5 day XML Programming class.

Prerequisites: Basic HTML knowledge. Attendance at the course Web Site Development with HTML/JavaScript is sufficient to meet prerequisites for this course.
