Description
XML is an emerging technology that provides a language- and platform-neutral
means for creating text formats for structured data. This two-day

Web applications and provides hands on experience with XML and its
companion technologies. The course covers all of the basics of XML:
syntax, DTDs, Data Schemas, Namespaces, XSL, CSS, and the DOM API.
During the course participants write a short XML document, write
a DTD and Data Schema for their document, and format their document
for display using CSS and XSL.

Web application developers who are, or will be, involved in developing
and deploying XML solutions.
