    Description
    Students will learn the essential concepts of XML technologies by creating XML documents, using Document Type Definitions (DTDs) and Schemas to validate XML documents, and creating their own DTDs and Schemas thereby defining the rulebook for the structure and content of XML documents. Students will also learn the basics of XPath to locate and extract content from an XML data file, use XLink and XPointer to link content, use SVG to create graphics and icons using XML, and the basics of XSL to transform an XML document into other types of objects, such as web pages, computer scripts, emails, and books. Students will also learn how to use Cascading Style Sheets (CSS) to render XML documents using nothing but a text editor and a web browser.
