Introduction to XML (2 days)

LXM-02: Fixed price XML training delivered on your site at any UK location.

A broad, partly practical, partly presentation based training course for developers or managers who will be involved in all aspects of XML development. The course provides some practical experience in working with XML data, understanding the role of namespaces and the use of XML processors. This is followed with a presentation based overview of XML transformations with XPath and XSLT, data modelling with XSD Schema, XML within browser/server development and XML with regard to relational databases (eg SQL Server and Oracle). On completion, a comprehensive set of course notes, examples, tutor and attendee scripts are provided on a free USB pen drive to take away.
