XML concepts (EN/NL/FR)

During this training, we give an overview of the XML technology stack. This one-day course at ABIS will introduce you to the basics of XML, as well as implementations like XSD, XSLT and parsers.

XML is much more than just a standard to represent structured text documents. 

In this course

• the basic XML specifications (such as XML, XML Schema and XSLT) are explained;
• many examples are given of the practical applications of XML technology.

Intended for

Analysts, application developers, database administrators and project leaders who want to gain an overview of XML and its application areas. People who are going to work with XML in practice, should instead take the technical course (XML fundamentals course)

You can test yourself to see if this course contains enough new information for you by filling out the on-line self-test.
