Here is the information: ******************** Introduction to Web Development with XML Taught by seasoned SGML and XML developers from Brown University and University of Virginia libraries, this five-day workshop will explore XML with specific consideration of how it is used and might be used in the creation of digital content for libraries. While there will be some lecture, the primary source of learning will come from hands-on demonstration and experimentation. Although this is an introductory course aimed at the XML beginner, some familiarity with the theory and practice of markup (HTML, SGML) is expected, as are strong basic computing skills. Topics to be covered include: * XML: what is it? how does it differ from SGML and HTML? * The basics of reading Document Type Definitions (DTDs) and understanding the reasons for using them when constructing and writing XML content. * Implementing methods of content formatting, transformation, and delivery (including XSL, cascading stylesheets, and PERL) so the XML we build can be delivered, read, and used in a variety of formats. * Using XML applications to further utilize XML capabilities and technologies in a UNIX environment ********************* Although the current presenters (Matthew Gibson, Christine Ruotolo, and Patrick Yott) come from library backgrounds, the content they provide can be used in many types of situations. Before I go further with ARL, I need to know if the interest is here for this workshop. Because of the technical and travel requirements, it will probably be held in one of the major cities. If you are interested, or know of others that are, please contact me with the number of people. If you think your institution would be willing to host, let me know that, too. Thanks for your time.
