XML Primer

This short, Sunday after­noon class provides a brief intro­duc­tion to XML for new­comers. It takes a whistle-stop tour of the top­ics covered in prac­tical detail over the three days of the Hands-on Intro­duc­tion course. After this gentle first encounter with XML you should have gained some insight into answers to the fol­low­ing questions:

• What is XML?
• Where did it come from?
• What is it good for?
• Why is XML important?
• Why should my organ­isa­tion care about XML?
• How are other people using XML?
• What are the Golden Rules I need to know?

This course is taught by Prof. John Chel­som.
