XML1 - XML: An Introduction or equivalent experience with XML. This course was designed for the student who is familiar with the general concepts involved in XML. Students should also have a solid grounding in HTML. Some knowledge of basic programming concepts and/or experience with Web scripting (VBScript or JavaScript) would be helpful. Some knowledge of cascading style sheets (CSS) would also be helpful. |

| Notes |
Students will learn the basics of the XSLT and XPath languages. This includes how to work with XSLT templates, various XSLT elements including conditional elements, recursive techniques, XPath pattern matching, XPath filters, and the numerous built-in XPath functions. This course is for anyone already introduced to the basics of XML and its related technologies, and who is interested in XML programming.

This course introduces the XSLT language (eXtensible Stylesheet Language Transformations). The XSLT specification is maintained by the W3C (World Wide Web Consortium) and is a core part of the growing family of XML technologies. A related XML technology is the XPath language, which is required for using XSLT stylesheets. Students in this course will therefore learn the basic elements of the XSLT language, as well as the syntax of XPath. The numerous built-in XPath functions are also covered thoroughly. Using XSLT and XPath, students will transform XML documents into other XML documents, and into HTML for display in a browser. The MSXML parser is used in conjunction with the Internet Explorer browser for data examples.
On completion of this course, students will know how to: Use the MSXML stylesheet processor to view the output of an XSLT transformation; Transform an XML document into both HTML and alternate XML documents; Control XSLT output by using multiple templates and adding new content during document processing; Use conditional elements to control XSLT processing flow; Use Node-set and Boolean related XPath functions in XPath expressions; Use String and Number related XPath functions in XPath expressions.
