| Advanced XML | 2 days |
The Extensible Markup Language (XML) defines a way of marking up text to describe the structure of data. XML allows you to create your own markup language: you define the tags that give meaning to your data. The World-Wide Web Consortium (W3C) creates and maintains the definition of XML, making it a standard for creating markup languages. Industries and organizations use XML to write rules defining their own markup languages.
In this two-day course students will learn advanced features of XML. Through lecture and hands-on lab exercises, they will extend their capabilities in XML Schema, XPath, and XSLT. In addition, new topics such as XQuery and features of XSLT 2.0 will be discussed.
