As a common tool for Web development, and a universal medium for information storage and exchange, XML is a key technology for those entering a wide variety of technology professions.
This workshop will focus on two major areas of XML. First, it will cover the basic syntactic rules that make up an XML document and include concepts such as elements, attributes, entities and namespaces. Second, it will cover validation of XML documents using a Document Type Definition (DTD).
XSLT (Extensible Stylesheet Language Transformations) is used to transform XML documents into other data types, such as XHTML. XPath (XML Path) is a language used to query the data stored in an XML document. This workshop will teach participants to transform XML data into valid XHTML using XSLT and XPath. With a growing amount of data being stored in XML format, being able to view and manipulate that XML data becomes necessary. XSLT allows a developer to transform one XML document into a variety of different formats including XHTML, PDF, and even other types of XML documents. Being able to transform XML data allows for easy reuse of information and enables a developer to display the information in numerous formats for analysis and viewing. While the focus of this workshop is on transforming XML to XHTML, the same principles can be applied to transform XML into any other document type. (read the full description)
Transform is a utility for processing web forms that does not require knowledge of scripting or programming. It allows you to collect form data and email it or store it in a file. This workshop is for people who maintain web sites and XHTML coders with prior knowledge of XHTML form tags. Participants take an existing, one-page web survey form and are guided in using Transform to accept a form submission and create e-mails and a data file that stores the collected data. There are also guided exercises in which participants set required fields and return feedback to the user. (read the full description)
Note:
Transform is available on only the IU central Web server (Webserve). Accounts on the central Web servers are available to academic/departmental groups, registered student groups, or approved professional organizations.
