Alpha Training XML Transformations with XSL


	XML Transformations with XSL
	2 days
	Course overview If an organisation has decided to use XML Schema in their XML solution, then the XML Schema course would be an essential pre-requisite for this course. However, the course works just as well if they are using DTDs, which are introduced in the XML Introduction course. Some examples of people who would benefit from this course include: Those involved in preparing data for presentation on multiple platforms (such as web, print, multimedia devices, PDAs) People being offered Web Services (or other data sets) in XML, which must then be presented in a more familiar format (such as MS Office documents or web pages) Anyone responsible for creating templates for others to use in the flow of XML data within an organisation Who should attend This course requires all the concepts from the XML introduction, so delegates either need to have attended that course or have equivalent experience. Someone with scant knowledge of XML would find this course confusing and would not get much benefit from it. Although the course begins with a review of XML and DTDs, this is done in the context of XML Transformations and is no replacement for experience at the level of the Introduction to XML. There is a great amount of logical reasoning required to fulfil the exercises on this course, so even though it is often the role of a designer to make data presentable, delegates must appreciate that XML Transformations are more like programming than a design tool.
