Course Description:

'' The course is platform and operating system agnostic, mirroring one of the biggest benefits of using XML for distributed applications. With the tools and technolgies you’ll learn, you’ll be able to use XML on any platform.

You Will Learn How To
Use XML in your applications, with an understanding of its structure, uses, and idiosynchrasies
Create both well-formed and optionally valid XML that complies with the XML standard and the requirements of your application
Use the two technologies that defien the structure of XML data - DTD and schemas - beyond the general syntax rules of XML
Use XSLT to transform XML into completely different XML, HTML, and even binary data
Use the Document Object Model to create a standard portable way to access information stored in XML data
Extract portions of an XML document using XPath
Use XML web services which enables you to invoke methods via HTTP
Create simple "blueprint" XSLT stylesheets to provide quick transformations of XML data
Create complex XSLT based applications that use multiple XML data sources and multiple stylesheets
Use XPath to navigate an XML tree and get values from text nodes and attributes
Determine the best place and time to process a given transformation: at the programmer’s workstation at design time, or upon request using the client’s browser, or on the web server
Create rule-based stylesheets that are easy to maintain and extend
Use variables to build attribute values and store default values
Design named templates that act as sub routines in an XSLT stylesheet
Use XSLT to calculate results and create totals based on XML data
Handle HTML tags in the content of your XML source document
Decide if and when to use processor-specifc extensions in your XSLT applications
