XML Training in Montana

This course is intended for analysts, designers and administrators of systems based on XML technology.

The training is an introduction to XML and its key technologies. Allows you to acquire the skills involved in creating valid XML documents, modeling the structure of an XML document (using DTP or XML Schema) and transformations of XML files to other formats (XHTML, HTML, TXT, PDF).

This training provides:

• A high-level overview and quick tour of XQuery
• Information to write sophisticated queries, without being bogged down by the details of types, namespaces, and schemas
• Advanced concepts for users who want to take advantage of modularity, namespaces, typing and schemas
• Guidelines for working with specific types of data, such as numbers, strings, dates, URIs and processing instructions
• A complete alphabetical reference to the built-in functions and types

Participants will also learn about XQuery's support for filtering, sorting, and grouping data, as well as how to use FLWOR expressions, XPath, and XQuery tools for extracting and combining information. During the training they will find out how to apply all of these tools to a wide variety of data sources, and how to recombine information from multiple sources into a single final output result.
