IBM Certified Solution Developer Training XML and Related Technolgies

This training coveres the requirements for an individual looking to become an IBM Certified Solution Developer. The training course for XML will teach you the structure XML using schemas and how to enhance schemas with user-defined datatypes and namespaces. You will also learn to use XSLT and XSL-FO syntax to transform XML documents and to work with the XML standards used to query, navigate, and link XML data.Also covered os how to manage DOM and SAX models of XML data with API and use some W3C standards to extend XML
