Kompaktkurs XML

Themen

Die Extensible Markup Language (XML) ist die Grundlage des zukünftigen "Semantischen Web". Die Sprache ist ähnlich zu HTML, erlaubt aber beliebige "Tags" zu definieren. In dem dreitägigen Kurs sollen folgende Themen behandelt werden:

• Motivation für XML, Unterschiede zu HTML und SGML
• Syntax von XML (Schwerpunkt des Kurses, mit praktischen Übungen)
• Document Object Model
• XSLT (XML Stylesheet Language - Transformations)
