- [Instructor] Hi there, and welcome to the course. This course is intended for people who want to get a broad introduction to the subject of XML. XML is a very large and comprehensive area of technology, and there's no way to fit everything in one course. My goal is to provide a big picture overview of XML, with just enough areas of detailed information to be able to work with XML-based data. After that, you can of course continue to drill down further into the parts that you find interesting or important to the work that you do. After watching this course, you will know how to read and write XML code. You'll understand how XML is used to organize and describe information. You'll be able to process XML in web pages or in other application contexts, like on the server, for example. And you'll know how to apply constraints to XML data to make sure the data has good quality and consistency. This course is organized into three distinct parts. The first part covers chapters one, two, and three. In this first section, we will learn the fundamentals of XML, how to build XML content, and we will even see some basic techniques for styling XML content. You won't need to have any prior experience with XML for this part of the course, although if you already have some knowledge of HTML, that will be helpful. The second part of the course deals with processing XML data and covers chapters four through seven. In this part of the course, we're going to learn about processing XML data, and we're going to be using JavaScript and HTML to build web pages that work with XML. For this part of the course, you'll need to have some familiarity with HTML and JavaScript. Now you don't need to be an expert in either one of those, but if you want to brush up on your knowledge, consider watching HTML Essential Training and JavaScript Essential Training. The third part of the course covers the last two chapters, where we will see how to apply rules and restrictions to XML in order to minimize errors and help enforce data quality and consistency. So by the end of this course, you'll have enough of an overview to explore any of these areas further on your own.
