XML / SOAP API & e-Commerce Series
Architag International Corporation | 4+ years ago
The course on XML, SOAP APIs, and e-commerce covered the foundational principles of XML and SOAP as they relate to web services and e-commerce integration. Participants learned how XML serves as a markup language for structuring and exchanging data, including creating valid XML documents with elements, attributes, and namespaces. The course also explored SOAP as a protocol for structured communication between applications, emphasizing its reliance on XML for message formatting and its ability to function across different platforms and programming languages.
In the context of e-commerce, the course addressed how SOAP APIs enable seamless integration between systems by facilitating reliable data exchange, such as product pricing or inventory updates. Students practiced building SOAP client applications and explored concepts like web service definitions, message envelopes, encoding rules, and error handling using the SOAP framework. By the end of the course, attendees gained hands-on experience in developing and deploying SOAP-based solutions for e-commerce applications.

XML Standards Course
Lockheed Martin Information Services | 4+ years ago
The course covered the fundamentals of XML, focusing on its syntax, structure, and validation. It introduced XML as a markup language for data storage and exchange, taught the rules for creating well-formed XML documents using elements, attributes, and namespaces, and explained the structure of XML documents, including root and nested elements. The course also addressed defining and validating XML document structures using DTDs (Document Type Definitions) and XML Schemas (XSD), emphasizing adherence to these standards.
Additionally, the course explored namespaces for resolving element name conflicts, entities for representing special characters or reusable content, and related technologies such as XSLT (for transforming XML into other formats) and XPath (for navigating XML documents). By its conclusion, the course provided learners with a solid foundation in creating, structuring, and validating XML documents while highlighting its broader applications in data exchange.
