DATES:

1. Getting Started
   • Create a simple XML document; it will be used in the subsequent exercises.
2. Navigating Nodes using XPath
   • XPath is used to navigate through elements and attributes in an XML document; specify path expressions for selecting nodes or node-sets in an XML document.
   • Utilize three XPath built-in functions; the exercises and built-in functions will be selected by the instructor.
3. XSLT
   • Use the XSLT transformation to build the generic structure of the page into the XSLT style sheet.
   • Apply an XSLT style sheet to an XML document.
4. Refining and Combining Style Sheets
   • Sort the content of an XML document and use style sheets.
   • Specify a sort order for the result document, alphabetically or numerically, in ascending or descending order.
   • Output is to be specified in several formats for the result document.
   • Specify whether white space in the result document is stripped or preserved.
5. Programming with XSLT
   • Write code which performs tasks in XSLT; the code will define and call named templates.
   • Utilize named templates for organizing a style sheet and defining variables to represent complex expressions.
   • Code repetition and conditional logic within the template.
6. Defining XML Grammar and Dataypes
   • Define and use a complex XML schema.
   • Specify the elements, attributes, and datatypes.
7. Creating and Changing XML Structure with XSLT
   • Transform one XML document to another.
   • Provide a mechanism for creating rich views in web pages that can be dynamically changed by the user, including the filtering of data for targeted communications.
   • Encode simple business rules.
8. Cross-referencing Documents using XSLT
   • Utilize keys to process cross referencing.
   • Use keys to take advantages of cross referencing, when the source document is not of type ID/IDREF.
9. Manipulating XML Documents using SAX
   • Recognize that a SAX parser initiates a series of events as it reads the document from beginning to end; this contrasts with building a complete representation of the document.
   • Code the events to handlers, which provide access to the content of the document: 1- The start of the document. 2- A processing instruction element. 3- A comment element. 4- The beginning of an element, including that element's attributes. 5- The text contained within an element. 6- The end of an element. 7- The end of the document.
