Course Description

The Java & XML course teaches delegates how to use the APIs, tools, and tricks of XML to build real-world applications, with the end result that both the data and the code are portable.

The course includes coverage of SAX and DOM, SOAP and data binding, and demonstrates their role with lots of examples throughout The course focuses on using XML from your Java applications. Java developers who need to work with XML, or think that they will in the future--as well as developers involved in the new peer-to-peer movement, messaging, or web services--will find this course valuable.
