Since XML Schema became a standard, XML Schemas are now ubiquitous within XML applications for the validation of XML data. This course teaches you how to develop XML schemas for use within your applications. This training course covers material required for the IBM Certified XML Developer qualification.

Duration: 2 days

Who is it for: This training course is aimed specifically at those who need to develop and work on XML schemas.

Layout: The training course combines lectures with practical exercises that help the delegates to put what they have learned on the training course into practice.  The exercises specifically build on what has been recently taught and are built up as the training course progresses.
