Description

The Complete Guide to XML delivers an in-depth learning experience for professionals aiming to master XML within the Microsoft technology landscape. Designed by experts with extensive experience in enterprise integration and consulting, this course prepares learners to work with XML in complex development and integration environments confidently.
The program goes beyond basic XML syntax to cover essential complementary technologies, including XPath, XSLT, and XQuery, enabling participants to query, transform, and manipulate XML data effectively. Learners gain hands-on experience with XML capabilities in Microsoft .NET libraries, along with insights into advanced features offered by third-party tools such as Saxonica .NET libraries.
Participants will also learn how to design, interpret, and validate XML Schema Definitions (XSDs) to ensure data consistency and enforce structural rules. Practical demonstrations include reading, writing, navigating, and modifying XML using C#, PowerShell, T-SQL, and Microsoft Excel.
By progressing from foundational principles to advanced real-world applications, the course equips learners with the confidence to build robust, validated XML solutions suitable for enterprise-grade systems and data exchange scenarios.
