This is an introductory-level XML training course, designed for those needing an
introduction to concepts and technologies associated with XML and its related
recommendations. Previous experience or knowledge of HTML is helpful but not
essential.
Overview
This course is an intensive, hands-on introduction to XML, XPath, and XSLT. The
course is a balanced mixture of theory and practical labs designed to take
students from the basic fundamentals of XML through to the related advanced
technologies. The students walk through the different standards in a structured
manner to enable them to master the concepts and ideas, which are reinforced in
the lab exercises. The course starts with the fundamentals of XML, including
coverage of DTDs and XML Schema. It then moves on to the XPath and XSLT
standards, and how to use them to transform XML documents into other documents
such as HTML documents or other XML documents. This course provides
indoctrination in the practical use of W3C standards (including XSL and XML
Schema) and of implementing tools and technologies. This course is programming
language independent, making it useful for Java, .NET, C++, and any other
programming orientation. Graduates will hit the ground running, applying XML to
projects at both an architectural as well as a line by line coding level. We can
easily adapt this course to industry and client specific needs.In addition to
valuable knowledge and working examples, students receive a copy of the
'Xtensil' product. This unique software was developed to assist in implementing,
testing, and fielding XML applications. Xtensil is used as both a teaching aid
and a straightforward, basic, fully functional XML toolkit that students can use
on Windows and Linux platforms.
Working in a hands-on learning environment student will learn to:
Write well-formed XML documents
Model business requirements using XML
Handle XML reserved characters
Validate an XML document with a DTD and with a Schema
Centralize data and markup definition with entities
Create DTDs and Schemas using XML tools
Generate XML documents from databases
Write XSL templates to transform XML documents into HTML
Integrate XML, XSL and the DOM to implement a complete solution
The Extensible Markup Language (XML) is a standard that is enabling a revolution
in web applications and business to business interactions. XML is the basis for
Wireless Markup Language (WML), Voice Markup Language (VoiceML), Simple Object
Access Protocol (SOAP), Web Services, and numerous industry initiatives such as
ACORD (insurance), PXML (proposal/RFP) and OTA (travel). Introduction to XML is
a three-day, hands-on course geared for software developers who need to
understand what XML is and how to use in with today's systems and architectures.
This course covers the topics from tags to architectures. The course is a
balanced mixture of theory and practical labs designed to take students from a
quick review of the basic fundamentals of XML through to the related advanced
technologies. The students walk through the different standards in a structured
manner to enable them to master the concepts and ideas, which are reinforced in
the lab exercises. The course starts with a quick review of the fundamentals of
XML before covering XML Schema in detail. It then moves on to the XPath and XSLT
covering advanced topics in both. Finally, XML and Web Services security
mechanisms and issues are addressed.
