This course will provide students with an understanding of the key concepts behind the complex topic of XML and its related technologies. |
| |
| |
|
This is a strategic management level course for decision makers. You will walk away knowing exactly what one can and cannot do with XML technologies. This is not a hands-on course; we do offer such courses, please contact us for details. |

| Description |
|
This course covers the where and why of XML technologies, who is driving (or possibly forcing) its use. It goes without saying, XML technologies are used to facilitate communications between two parties in commerce. Perhaps your trading partner is insisting that your firm join in exchanging XML messages, in order to maintain the existing relationship. Or a potential client has a requirement for XML-based automation, but you do not yet have familiarity with this technology. If any of these scenarios apply, then this course was meant for you. |

Course Highlights |
| |
| |

|
- Overview of the W3C XML-related Recommendations. |
| |
|
- XML vocabularies and schema languages. |
| |
|
- Processing of XML documents. |
| |
|
- Why XML is a valuable tool for system integration: |
| |
|
* How interprocess communications work. |
| |
|
* Data transports: how messages are sent over a network, especially the Internet. |
| |
|
* Web services, creating applications from modules. |
| |
|
- How XML is critically involved in all of the above tasks. |

Every student participating in this course will receive a set of PowerPoint slides of session notes along with audio tracks narrating the lectures. |

| |
|
The course was designed for a weekly frequency of sessions. It can definitely be extended over a longer period of time. Compressing the frequency is dependent on how much time the student can commit to studying the learning materials. There is a quiz for every session. A project is due at the end of the course, which can be either a case study illustrating the use of an XML technology, or an XML application, if the student is so inclined. |

Intended Audience |
| |
|
Business personnel working in a technical organization or with system integrators, even those selling to such organizations. This would include people such as technical managers, IT architects, marketing personnel and application engineers. Also, anyone new to the XML language and has an interest in what a markup language can be used for is invited to participate in this course. |

Requirements |
| |
|
No tactical programming skills are required per se, but it would be helpful if one is familiar with Information technology, and aware of how applications are built. This course will combine text book readings with articles and case studies to illustrate the key concepts behind XML technologies and how XML is applied in many IT systems. The required textbook is "Introduction to Applied XML Technologies in Business". The textbook is available from the online bookstores Amazon, Barnes & Noble, among others. |
