This course focuses on using XML technologies in website development. Fundamental technologies relating to XML, such as XPath, XSL, XSLT, XSL-FO, XML Schemas, DTDs, SAX, and DOM, are emphasized. In addition, specific markup languages relevant to website development, such as XHTML, SVG, RSS, XHTML Mobile Profile, WML, and DocBook, are covered. These technologies, coupled with the open-source XML publishing framework Cocoon, are used to develop dynamic, database-driven sites that deliver content in a variety of media types (XHTML, text, PDF, graphics) for a variety of devices (desktops, handhelds, cellular phones) and audiences.
