XML (Extensible Markup Language) is becoming increasingly
adopted as the standard format for structured documents
and data on the Web. XML documents are the important
building block in creating applications; it is one of the
main ingredients of the emerging Web Services technology.
In this course, you gain hands-on experience using XML,
you learn how to create well-formed XML documents,
validate them with DTDs, learn to use XML Schema, and
process the contents of an XML document. Most important of
all, you learn how to establish the XML environment on
your computer by installing the correct and compatible
version of XML related software.
It is assumed that you have experience writing HTML from
scratch. Specifically, you should know how to create
anchors, images, and tables. You can learn enough HTML to
be ready for this course by completing our Introduction to
HTML course.
