As this is only a 1-day course, this course does not make you an expert (yet)
in:
- Manipulating XML-documents using Java, JavaScript, Visual Basic or
Java
- Converting XML to PDF
- transforming XML using Cascading Stylesheets (not treated)
The program may be adapted to the audiance. For example, for an audiance of
middle managers, it is not useful to treat XML-manipulation using Java,
JavaScript etc.., in depth. Instead, the sessions about the importance of XML
in the Pharma industry (with many examples) and about Internationalization
can be treated more extensively.
