XML tutorial in 100 minutes

Time for another tutorial: XML in 100 minutes.

XML today is a vital technology in contemporary organizations, it is widely used to transfer data between applications and other uses.

Knowing XML for today’s IT Gurus is as important as Unix and SQL skills. Many Applications requires XML know-how.

This short guide to XML is only an fast introduction to XML, later tutorials will follow about the individual subjects in XML, like XSLT, SOAP …etc.

The tutorial is available here in PDF, HTML and Adobe-Flash Formats

One of the slides has an overview of XML technologies:

I hope this tutorial is useful and please don’t forget to comment and let me know your opinions and wishes.

You can find all my tutorials here.

Below is a flash version of the tutorial:

If you want to learn everything about XML in one fully loaded shot, then you should have a look at IBM’s XML and Related Technologies book/certificate :

  • Part 1 – Architecture
  • Part 2 – Information Modeling
  • Part 3 – XML Processing
  • Part 4 – Transformations
  • Part 5 – Testing and Tuning
  • My tutorial was created before I came to know about IBM’s certification above, but I noticed it has everything that is to be known about XML.
