$250.00

Dates: September 2 - September 29

Credits: 1.5 CEUs or 15 PDHs

This course will provide an introduction to the XSL Transformation language (XSLT) and the XML Query language (XQuery) including hands-on basic coding in both XSLT and XQuery. The goal of this course is to introduce students to some basic XML tools for manipulating XML documents and data.

Topics will include:

  • learning XSL language fundamentals and how to write basic XSL transformations
  • learning XQuery fundamentals and how to write basic XQueries,
  • understanding the differences between XSL and XQuery
  • how to write code to transform XML documents into other formats (for example, (X)HTML5, RSS, etc.)

Students should have a basic knowledge of XML and XPath before starting the course.

This course can be taken as one of six courses needed to earn our Certificate in XML and RDF-Based Systems, and may assume a certain level of background knowledge covered in other courses in the sequence.
