XML provides a powerful way to store persistent, document-type data. In this way, XML is a replacement for SGML. This course introduces you to the
Extensible Mark-up Language (XML) and gives you an idea of its potential and how companies are using it to solve their document management and distribution problems. First, the instructor presents several case studies
showing how XML has been used to make SGML conversion easier, delivery on the Web more useable, and authoring more intuitive. Next, the standard itself is covered, followed by a discussion of areas where XML can be used
to solve document management problems. You leave this course with an understanding of the standard and its syntax. Objectives:
- Learn the purpose of XML
- Learn how the XML syntax differs from SGML and HTML
- Understand the evolution of the standard
- Learn how others have converted their structured SGML databases into intelligent sophisticated websites
