The goal of this course is to provide students with an advanced level of understanding of what can be done with Extensible Markup Language (XML) and the technologies that support it.

Students will learn how to take a XML documents and perform powerful operations with them using Extensible Stylesheet Language Transformations (XSLT). XSLT allows us to transform the raw data into vastly different formats through its API. These new data structures can then be used in web or pc based applications.

This course is intended for existing XML application developers who wish to leverage the power that XML and XSLT offer and incorporate that into their applications.

To ensure an effective learning environment, it is imperative that students meet minimum course prerequisites.
