Introduction to XML
In this course, students will learn the fundamentals of XML for use with XML-enabled applications or general web use. This course is an introduction to XML that prepares students with a foundation in one of the key elements of web programming.
Upon completion of the course, students will earn 4 CEUs (Continuing Education Units) and a CEU letter from the University of Illinois Office of Continuing Education. This course counts toward both the Web Programming Certificate Series and the .NET Programming Certificate Series.
From beginning to end, participants will learn by doing their own XML-based projects. These projects, as well as the final project, will add to the student's portfolio and will contribute to certificate completion. Besides a browser and internet connection, all software is provided online by the O'Reilly School of Technology.
Introduction to XML covers topics including basic XML syntax, formatting, differences between XML and HTML, elements, attributes, document types definitions (DTDs) and how to use them, basic XSL and XML transformation, etc.
