TUTORIAL DETAILS

The eXtensible Markup Language - XML - is the hot topic on the Web. This
language has much more to offer than simply solving HTML's problems, it
heralds a new era in data exchange and access to information. This seminar
will give a high-level overview of XML and its related standards. The
seminar does not dwell on the bits-and-bytes of the XML syntax, but rather
concentrates on the uses of XML, the costs involved in using XML and its
payoffs and benefits.
