[Note below that the early-bird date for discounted registration is May 10,
2004]
Mr. G. Ken Holman, an internationally renowned Extensible Markup Language
(XML) expert from Crane Softwrights Ltd. in Canada, will be returning to
Germany, this time to Bremen in May 2004, bringing his XSL-related training
for two publicly-subscribed training courses open to any XML practitioner
in the area.
If you have information in XML http://www.w3.org/TR/REC-xml and you need to
display it on the web or print to paper or PDF, you will complete these
courses having successfully produced both kinds of outputs during the
hands-on exercises.
"Practical Transformation Using XSLT and XPath" May 24-26, 2004 is a
comprehensive and in-depth three-day hands-on workshop for the two W3C
Recommendations Extensible Stylesheet Language Transformations
http://www.w3.org/TR/xslt (XSLT) and the XML Path Language
http://www.w3.org/TR/xpath (XPath). These are used to express the
transformation of marked up information into different target vocabularies
for use in XML-based applications, in web browsers and for print. The only
prerequisite is that attendees know how to create well-formed XML documents
(knowledge of document validation and schemas is not required).
"Practical Formatting Using XSL-FO" May 27-28, 2004 is a comprehensive and
in-depth two-day hands-on workshop for the W3C Recommendation Extensible
Stylesheet Language Formatting Objects http://www.w3.org/TR/xsl
(XSL-FO). This is used to express the pagination and layout of information
suitable for the printed form such as PDF files and hard copy. Unlike
printing HTML from web browsers, XSL-FO gives subtle and powerful control
over the print formatting of structured information to produce
professional-looking typographical results. Most users of XSL-FO use XSLT
to convert their XML information to this layout vocabulary, though
knowledge of XSLT is not a prerequisite for the course. Familiarity with
HTML and CSS is an asset, though not required.
The two courses may be taken separately or you can save money by
subscribing to both as a combination pair. By special arrangement, the
course costs are cheaper than similar offerings available in North America,
and are far more comprehensive and complete than other courses on the same
topics. Practical exercises using your own laptop with publicly-available
software help to cement key concepts and techniques.
These acclaimed courses focus solely on the technology of the W3C
Recommendations, are unbiased and are free of any vendor-orientation. They
are taught by a daily practitioner, an expert and an enthusiastic
contributor to the markup community, unlike some instructors from other
companies who may be pretenders to the technology.
