What People Are Saying:
“Good overview course. Provides a useful introduction to the concepts and practices employed in XML.” –Steve Denton
“I was looking for an overview of XML, something to give me a rudimentary understanding of the language. I had a very basic understanding but wanted something more to motivate me to take the next steps to learn more. This course did exactly that.” -Michael Miles
“I appreciate the depth and example of this course and they are applicable to real-life scenarios. It took my understanding of XML messages to a new level. Thank you.” -Alexandru Tofan
