Description
The Complete Guide to XML is designed for developers seeking a comprehensive understanding of XML across the Microsoft ecosystem. Drawing on extensive consulting and teaching experience in XML and B2B/Integration scenarios, this course equips participants with the skills needed to become well-rounded developers or architects, particularly those working with BizTalk and integration projects.
Participants will explore not only XML fundamentals but also essential technologies such as XPath, XSLT (for transforming XML into other XML formats or HTML), and XQuery. The course highlights capabilities available in Microsoft .NET libraries and introduces additional features offered through third-party Saxonica .NET libraries.
Students will learn to create, interpret, and validate XSD Schemas, enabling them to ensure XML documents meet defined structures. Practical instruction covers reading, writing, navigating, and modifying XML data, with relevant applications in C#, PowerShell, and T-SQL.
This course is ideal for anyone seeking a deep understanding of XML syntax and concepts, including how to use XML Schemas to define structures and enforce validation rules. Given XML's status as a widely adopted standard for storing and exchanging information online, proficiency in XML has become a critical skill for developers.
From foundational concepts to advanced techniques, the course guides students to the point where they can confidently write well-formed XML documents, apply XML schemas to enforce business rules, and leverage XML effectively in real-world development scenarios.
