I've seen some people on this list state that they would be interested in a
hands-on XML workshop that would supplement the EAD training they've had.
If you are interested, there will be one in March in Dallas, Texas.

***************************
Amigos Library Services is pleased to bring you
this two-day workshop:

A Hands-On Introduction to XML

Date:
Wednesday and Thursday
March 19-20, 2003

Location:
Amigos Library Services, Inc.
Dallas, TX

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 and transformation (including
XSL and cascading style sheets) so the XML we build can be delivered,
read,
and used in a variety of formats.

Prerequisites:  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.

The University of Virginia
