Description
The eXenstible Markup Language, or XML, is a technology that is
rapidly gaining momentum for its flexibility and efficiency it brings
to the development of Web-based solutions. Once touted as a replacement
for HTML, XML is now being used for much more–from transaction processing
to middleware to data exchange.
This 4-day hands-on course explains XML from a practical perspective:
Web-based application development using XML. The course focuses on
using XML with Active Server Pages, although using XML with Java is
also briefly discussed. Topics include schema creation, XML parsing,
document object model manipulation, and display rendering with XSL.
Audience
This course is intended for Internet application developers who
are, or will be, involved in developing and deploying XML solutions.
Prerequisites
Students must be familiar with HTML, Dynamic HTML, and Cascading
Style Sheets. Familiarity with JavaScript and Active Server Pages
is extremely helpful. Familiarity with object-oriented concepts
is beneficial.
Hardware and Software
Windows NT 4+ (Workstation or Server), Internet Information Server
4, Internet Explorer 5, Microsoft Access (optional).
