Discover the power of XML. The eXtensible Markup Language (XML) is revolutionizing Internet interactivity, providing an easier method to conduct business to business transactions and a more efficient and effective means to search and manage the behind the scenes data. XML provides the bridge between the user's interface and the site's data driven interactive features. This hands-on program will prepare you to build enterprise solutions to enhance your site's capabilities.

The eXtensible Markup Language (XML) seems to be used almost everywhere in software development today from simple configuration files to Web services and even XML-based database engines.
