The Extensible Markup Language (XML) is a subset of the Standard Generalized Markup Language (SGML) that specifies the rules for creating markup languages (such as HTML) that can be shared on the World Wide Web.
This course teaches you the principles, benefits and components of XML as well as both advanced principles of XML development, and the details behind emerging standards like namespaces, XPOINTER, XLINK, and XSL.
The course also covers programming support, browser support and the major contributions of key players like IBM, Microsoft and Sun Microsystems.
The course also covers the components of XML Application Programming Interfaces like DOM and SAX.

WHAT YOU WILL LEARN
Recognize all components of an XML document.
Create XML-compliant markup languages
Write both a well-formed and valid document
Use XLINK to create multi-faceted links between documents
Use namespaces to uniquely identify markup elements amongst the global creation of new documents
Understand the components of XML Application Programming Interfaces like DOM and SAX
