Exploring XML

09:30 - 16:15 Tuesday 27 January 2009
IT Training Suite, Newcastle University

XML is integral to an increasing number of applications, both on and off-line. Much more than simply "making up your own tags", XML provides a flexible, standards-compliant, format for structuring and processing data - including web page content.

All XML documents conform to a simple framework of rules, however complex the application. The key to getting started is to understand these rules, along with how some of the core XML technologies such as XLST and XPath operate.

Topics:

What is XML?
The relationship between SGML, HTML, XML and XHTML
Namespaces, DTDs and Schema
Structuring data with XML
XML parsers
XML processing with XSLT and XPath
Server-side XML processing
What all these letters stand for!

Who is it for?

This practical workshop explores the core concepts and rules for working with XML documents. It will be of benefit to anyone looking to use XML as part of their online publishing and content management systems.

Participants must be familiar with the principles of mark-up languages (e.g. HTML) and must be comfortable editing files using a text editor such as Windows Notepad. An understanding of basic web scripting (client and/or server-side) would be useful, but is not essential.

Further details about this workshop are available.
