XML Building XML-Based Web Applications Part 2

This is the second course in a five part series that presents an introduction to the treatment of validation technologies within XML. DTDs are covered, presenting detail on DTD elements and attributes and entities. XML Schemas are then introduced, emphasizing the advantages of schemas over DTDs and then covering data types and namespaces within XML Schemas. The course then covers the treatment of the generation of dynamic data and its transmission between server and client. The core components of Active Server Pages (ASP) are covered. Substantial treatment is given to Active Data Objects (ADO) and its use in generating HTML and XML data. The final aspect of dynamic data generation covered within the course is SOAP.

• Identify features of XML validation.
• Identify features of a document type definition (DTD).
• Identify ways of attaching document type definitions (DTDs) to an XML document.
• Identify features of retrieval and mapping of XML data.
• Identify benefits of XML to Web applications.
• Identify the procedure used by Web applications to communicate between the browser and the server.

The intended audience for this course include individuals who operate a software development environment using Microsoft Windows DNA technologies and building Web applications. Job profiles include: Technical Manager, Application Developer, System Analyst, and Software Engineer. Suggest a working knowledge of COM+, IIS, ASP, and Visual Basic, and preferably have used Visual InterDev. In addition, learners should have taken the first part of the series (73221).
