Building XML Web Applications-Pt 1 |
| Number: |
73221 |
| Overview: |
The goal of this course is to present the learner with a broad overview of XML before moving onto a detailed treatment of each aspect of XML in the subsequent courses within the curriculum. It aims to present XML within the context of its use as a solution to information processing challenges and its uses within commercial and business environments. This course begins by introducing the learner to a history of XML and its response to the challenges of data structuring and information processing. The core W3C specifications for XML and the business and commercial uses of XML are introduced. The course goes on to cover the basic elements of XML language and structure. The key elements of XML documents are covered, in addition to XML grammars and namespaces. The latter half of this course begins an introductory treatment of XML technologies. Style sheets are covered, with an emphasis on the evolutionary relationships and distinctions between CSS, XSL and XSLT. Core aspects of data binding are introduced. The final technology to be introduced is the Document Object Model (DOM). This course was last maintained December 07, 2001. 73221-0112-10 |
