Advanced XML: DOM Course
Course Description
This course introduces the XML Document Object Model's level 1.0 specification and the Microsoft implementation of it. The DOM specification is maintained by the W3C (World Wide Web Consortium) so this course will present the core DOM as they've defined it. Microsoft, a leader in implementing the DOM in the real world, has provided numerous extensions to the core DOM, and this course will present those as well. It assumes knowledge of the basics of the emerging XML family of technologies, although a brief review is included. Students will learn the basic objects, properties, and methods of the DOM, the role the DOM plays in XML application programming, how to use the DOM in basic XML programming examples, and where the DOM seems to be headed in future versions. Example client-side code will be used for the most part, although some server-side examples using ASP and ADO will also be presented (Lesson 6). Code examples are given in VBScript, but some examples are also provided JavaScript.
Course pre-requisites:
This course will review the emerging world of XML technologies. However, some familiarity with basic XML concepts would be helpful. Therefore, you should take the following courses, or have equivalent knowledge, before taking this course:
HTML Web Authoring
Introduction to Programming
Introduction to XML
Advanced XML Schema Design
A thorough knowledge of VBScript, JavaScript, DHTML, ASP, and ADO/SQL concepts and syntax would also be very helpful, but is not required for this course, as the code examples used are very simple. Code examples given in the manual are given in VBScript, and versions of some of the examples are provided in JavaScript as well.
