Seek your recommendation on content for a 3-day class on XMLfoundations

["Costello, Roger L." <costello@mitre.org>]

Hi Folks,

I will be teaching a 3-day class – 7 hours training per day – at my company on XML foundations.

By “XML foundations” I don’t mean to imply that the course is exclusively on XML. I can cover other XML-related technologies.

The class will be a combination of lectures and hands-on lab exercises.

The students are professional engineers and have no familiarity with XML. Possibly they have some familiarity with HTML.

Questions:

1. What topics should I cover?

2. What are the key points that the students should take away?

3. Suppose I was teaching this class 10 years ago. How should today’s class differ from the class of 10 years ago?
