ATI's XML for Programmers course

Summary: The Extensible Markup Language (XML) is a subset of the Standard Generalized Markup Language (SGML) that specifies the rules for creating markup languages (such as HTML) which can be shared on the World Wide Web. This course teaches you the principles, benefits and components of XML, introduces some advanced principles of XML development and emerging standards such as namespaces, XPOINTER, XLINK, and XSL. The course includes programming with SAX and DOM. Prerequisites: Students should have completed courses in HTML and Java Programming or have equivalent knowledge. Who Should Attend: This course was designed for Programmers and Web designers who want to use the Extensible Markup Language (XML) for creating, transferring and presenting data on the web. Benefits of Attendance: Upon completion of this course, students will be able to:  Recognize all components of an XML document.  Create XML-compliant markup languages  Write both a well-formed and valid document  Use namespaces to uniquely identify markup elements amongst the global creation of new documents  Understand the components of XML Application Programming Interfaces like DOM and SAX Course Outline: Chapter 1: Introduction History What is a Markup Language?
