Lectures cover the reasons for using XML, XML syntax, industry standards and templates as provided by Document Type Definitions (DTD), XML Schemas and their advantages over DTDs, namespaces and their purposes, extracting information using XPath, transforming XML documents using XML Stylesheet Transformation (XSLT), and the XQuery query language. Lecture materials are reinforced with hands-on lab exercises.
