Introduction

  • In a very short time, XML has been recognised as key to the provision of flexible solutions in a complex and fast-moving world. The course also looks at how to use XML for general application integration.
  • Examples show how to exchange XML data using a variety of protocols, including CORBA, SOAP and message-based systems such as MQ Series and MSMQ.
  • Commercial products are also discussed as well as in-built XML support from relational databases.
  • The course comprises lectures, demonstrations, and mini hands-on exercises.
  • The demonstrations and exercises illustrate the capabilities and scope of XML, rather than drilling down into the technical details.
  • All code samples are available for delegates to take away and study after the course.
