Week 1 COAP 2180
Learning goals
On week one we will look at XML in three ways:
- Where is XML used ?
- What is XML ? (a formalism)
- What do we mean by a "document structure" ?
- How can we hand-code XML "applications" ? You will learn how to use an XML editor and make use of so-called DTDs.
Activities and teaching materials (Monday)
- Introduction to XML
- xml-intro.ppt (slides used on Monday)
- XML article in this wiki (includes the same information and is somewhat more readable)
- Tour de XML
- See Tour de XML
Editing and styling XML
- Understanding and editing XML (Wednesday)
- xml-edit.pdf (slides used to explain how to understand DTDs and how to edit XML)
- Editing XML tutorial (wiki article)
- [[XML editor]s, in particular Exchanger XML Editor (installed in the classroom on the N: drive)
- XML with CSS style (first contact, again on week 2)
- CSS tutorial (reminder and for catching up)
- CSS for XML tutorial
- Examples files
- DTD and XML templates example directory
- To retrieve these files, I strongly suggest that you "save link as". If you open a file in a navigator like IE and then save, you may loose information ....
- Also consider taking the ALLFILES.zip archive which should include everything. Before unzipping, create a directory.
