Introduction To Extensible Markup Language (XML)

This class provides an entry point for those new to XML. It can be delivered to private groups, onsite or a location of your choice. It can also be delivered via the Internet for geographically distributed staff or a mixture of both.

Overview

The Extensible Markup Language (XML) has become the leading standard for a numerous technologies including Web Services, SOA and structured data in general among others. This course covers XML language syntax as well as its implementation. At the conclusion of this course, participants with be prepared to develop well-formed and valid XML documents using simple text editors and sophisticated Integrated Development Environments.This course provides:

Java programming fundamentals
Object-oriented programming essentials
Applications development best practices and strategies

The course is offered to participants with varying in technical skill sets:

Introduction to Java Programming for Non-programmers (5 days, $2450.00): Participants receive the fundamentals of applications development, best practices, object-oriented programming constructs and strategies, and Java Programming Language essentials.

Introduction to Java Programming for COBOL Programmers (4 days, $2050.00): Participants receive a roadmap for migrating from procedural-base development to object-oriented programming constructs and strategies, and Java Programming Language essentials.

Introduction to Java Programming for C/C++ Programmers (3 days, $1750.00): Participants leverage their knowledge of structured and object-oriented programming skills to maximize their learning experience. C/C++ grammars and development strategies are contrasted with those of Java to expedite the learning curve.

Introduction to Java Programming Custom Course (TBD, call for pricing)

Depending on the skill set of the participants (listed above), introductory modules provide the necessary foundations required to master Java.

Intermediate modules provide participants with the Java Programming Language syntax, the roll of the Java Virtual Machine, Java archives, as well as an understanding of heredity, encapsulation, abstraction and generalization and polymorphism.

Concluding modules provide participants with Java programming strategies and application design, deployment, Java SE core classes, as well as an overview of Java EE.
