Description
The Extensible Markup Language (XML), a subset of SGML, was originally formed to enable generic SGML to be served, received and processed on the web (as HTML). XML is the natural choice for B2B connectivity. It allows an easy and accurate data storage as well as B2B interaction between systems developed in different software programming languages, such as Java, C#, PHP and others. This course overviews XML as well as its related XML languages as the XML Schema Definition language (XSD), the Data Types Definition language (DTD) and the Xtensible Stylesheet Language (XSL).
