CSW XML Summer School 2004

Hands-on Introduction to XML: Monday 26 - Tuesday 27 July

Instructors: Martin Bryan, Gary Cornelius, Kevin Wise, Reuben Wright

Description: This two-day track provides a complete and practical introduction to XML for those with little previous experience. Packed with hands-on exercises using a cross section of the latest XML tools and applications, this track will rapidly bring beginners up to speed so that they can make the most of the more advanced sessions in the Technical Track or Applications Track later in the Summer School. The practical exercises used throughout will allow delegates to focus on either XML for technical and reference publishing or XML for healthcare as appropriate. The seminar will also provide an overview of the latest XML tools and technologies in the marketplace.

Format: This course is a mixture of lectures and hands-on exercises, with the emphasis on the practical side, giving delegates maximum opportunity to apply and put into practice what they are learning and to interact with the presenters. A PC will be available for every two delegates.
