Overview

IBM, Sun, Microsoft and the Open Source movement are supplying developers with parsers and standardized interfaces for manipulating XML data. This workshop begins with a brief overview of several parsing combinations and shows why Java has become the preferred way to develop XML projects.

By the end of the course, the students will know how to:

  • Find and download XML/Java software development tools
  • Install and test XML/Java parsers
  • Parse XML data using the SAX, DOM and JDOM models
  • Be able to intelligently make a choice between the three parsing models when developing their XML projects.

    Pre-requisites:

    This course is an intermediate course with defined prerequisites. Students are expected to have a basic understanding of XML syntax and Java syntax before registering for the class.

    At a minimum, a student attending this workshop should have taken the following workshops or had real world experience in the subjects:

  • Understanding XML
  • Basic Java programming
  • Basic HTML

    TOPICS:
    1. Review of XML
    2. Parsing XML on the Server (alternatives
    3. Downloading Components
