A bit more about these classes:
- XML Basics
http://www.mulberrytech.com/services/classes/c-basics-xml.html
Intended for people who have an interest in textual documents, such
as writers, editors, and programmers with HTML or typesetting
experience, this class focuses on use of XML with text. By the end
of the class, participants will have created a valid XML document,
corrected well-formedness and validity errors, written a DTD, and
will understand the differences between XML DTDs, the W3C XML Schema,
and RELAX NG (although none of the schema languages are covered in depth).
- Introduction to Schematron
http://www.mulberrytech.com/services/classes/c-schematron-intro.html
Schematron is a tool for finding things out about XML documents. It is
used to check things that may be valid but that are often incorrect and
to report on the status of a document or document collection. Participants
learn to use Schematron to identify both the presence and absence of data
and patterns, and are introduced to some of the more complex things one
can write with Schematron. In addition, participants learn enough XPath to
get started with Schematron.
- XSLT/XPath Basics
http://www.mulberrytech.com/services/classes/c-intro-xslt.html
XSLT, the non-procedural language for transforming XML into other data
formats,
and XPath, its companion specification for identifying parts of XML documents,
are widely used to convert XML data into other data formats, including:
display
forms such as HTML, database load formats, and XML according to other DTDs.
This
class teaches the principles and practice of XSLT/XPath. Centered around the
abstract data model of XML, students learn to create and prioritize templates;
use expressions, patterns, and functions to select nodes and create output;
and create elements, attributes, processing instructions, and comments in
their
output.
