Processing XML Documents

Why This Course?

.
.
.

As the XML technology gains maturity, it shifts the paradigm of developing enterprise applications. Most of these applications would process XML documents in standard and universal ways. This course introduces these standard ways of processing XML documents, how they are applied, and how they are integrated together. You will learn how to generate XML documents from relational databases, how to transform them using XSLT & XPath, how to style them using XSL-FO, how to link them using XLink & XPointer, how to validate them using XML Schema, and how to program them using either DOM or SAX. The course provides a comprehensive insight into how these technologies could be integrated to deliver on the promise of the XML technology.
