Since XML Schema became a standard, XML Schemas are now ubiquitous within XML applications for the validation of XML data. This course teaches you how to develop XML schemas for use within your applications. This training course covers material required for the IBM Certified XML Developer qualification.
Layout
The 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.
Training Course Objectives
- Create simple and complex types in XML Schema
- Extend and restrict existing types
- Use object oriented principles of inheritance, polymorphism, and abstraction in their schema development
- Understand the significance of namespaces in XML Schema
- Use include and import elements within schemas
Who it is for
This training course is aimed specifically at those who need to develop and work on XML schemas.
Training Course Prerequisites
- Delegates must be familiar with XML. XML experience can come from the ?XML Overview? training course. It is also beneficial to be familiar with object oriented programming principles.
