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)

- 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.
