Introduction to Programming XML and Related Technologies with Java 1.4 (WD241)
This course provides conceptual and practical knowledge of the fundamentals of XML and related technologies in the context of building e-business applications, and the techniques used to process XML using Java 1.4. Lectures cover the reasons for using XML, XML syntax, document type definition (DTD) and XML schema, namespaces and their purposes, extracting information using XML Path Language (XPath), transforming XML documents using XML Stylesheet Transformation (XSLT), the XQuery query language, and standard programming APIs. Lecture materials are reinforced with hands-on lab exercises.
