The course describes best practices for XML and XSLT and gives compelling examples of the best ways to solve real-world problems.

You Will Learn How To:

After completing this course, students will be able to:

Define XML Path Language (XPath) expressions to locate and filter the content of an XML document
Define XSLT style sheets to transform XML documents at the Web browser and Web server
Create and change XML structure by using XSLT
Use XSLT to merge different XML documents and generate cross-references between them
Create a Visual Basic application that uses the Simple API for XML (SAX) to access large XML documents

Before attending this course, students must have:

A moderate degree of Web development experience using HTML and XML
A moderate degree of experience scripting with Visual Basic for Applications, VBScript, or JavaScript
Some prior experience using COM objects, Active Server Pages (ASP pages), and either Visual Basic or Microsoft Visual C++
Taking one or more of the following courses will help the students meet the prerequisites and get more out of the course:

Building XML-Based Applications
Mastering Microsoft Visual Basic 6 Development
Mastering Web Application Development Using Microsoft Visual InterDev 6

Who Should Attend?

This course is intended for Web developers who have used XML to create simple Web applications, and need to know how to exploit the full potential of XML and XSLT.

The course is also intended for Microsoft Visual Basic developers who have some exposure to XML, and need more detailed information about XML in order to build and integrate systems by using XML and XSLT.
