XML: Extensible Markup Language

Overview:  Extensible Markup Language (SML) is a standard that is enabling a revolution in web applications and business to business interactions.  XML is the basis for Wireless Markup Language (WML), Voice Markup Language (VoiceXML), and Simple Object Access Protocol (SOAP), Web Services and numerous industry initiatives such as ACORD (insurance), PXML (proposal/RFP) and OTA (travel). XML is vendor-neutral and is being used in J2EE from Sun and .NET from Microsoft.

This course provides indoctrination in the practical use of W3C standards (including XSL and XML Schema) and in implementing tools and technologies.  Graduates can hit the ground running, applying SML to projects at both an architectural as well as a line by line coding level.  We can tailor this course to meet industry and specific needs.
