Introduction to XML TechnologyXML is increasingly becoming a critical part of many application architectures. In this training course, we will expose you to XML and the many and various technologies that surround it, such as XML Schemas, XSLT, SAX, DOM, and XPath . The training course also introduces the new Web services technology. Conygre is an education partner with Altova , and throughout the training course, we will be using the popular XML editor, XML Spy. This training course covers material required for the IBM Certified XML Developer qualification. Training Course Duration1 days LayoutThe training course combines lectures with practical exercises that help the delegates to put what they have learned on the training course into practice. The exercises specifically build on what has been recently taught and are built up as the training course progresses. Who it is forThis training course is aimed at anyone who is experienced programming who needs to incorporate XML processing into his or her application development. Training Course Prerequisites- Delegates should have some appreciation for the issues involved in building large-scale applications. Delegates should also have a development background.
Training Course ObjectivesAt the end of this training course, students should be able to: - Read and write well formed XML
- Understand where XML can best be applied within applications
- Understand the importance of namespaces in XML applications
- Appreciate the importance of XML Schema technology and Document Type Definitions (DTD)
- Understand the purpose of XSLT, and the importance of Xpath in XSLT technology.
- Appreciate the core differences between the two XML APIs SAX and DOM, and know when to apply each.
- Understand the concept of Web services and SOAP, WSDL, and UDDI
- Appreciate some of the other emerging technologies surrounding XML.
