In the course XML Schema you will gain extensive knowledge on the syntax and usage of the XML Schema language, as successor to Document Type Definitions (DTDs).
XML Schema is used to define XML vocabulaires that define the structure, element names and contents of XML documents.
Several XML Schema design models are discussed like Russian Doll, Salami Slice and Venetian Blind. Attention is given to declaring simple and complex elements and types and imposing constraints on the content of elements.
Also the creation of user defined simple data types using facets and regular expressions is among the subjects discussed. Namespaces are an important part in the XML Schema specification and is given a lot of attention.
Also the creation of complex derived data types and the difference between derivation by restriction and derivation by extension are discussed.
Further attention is paid to modularization of schemas and the usage of the include and import mechanisms.
Finally some advanced topics like Open Content Models and the XML Schema handling of keys and references and the removing of redundancy by identity constraints are addressed.
The course XML Schema is designed for developers of XML data structures and XML applications and project managers who want to use XML schemas to validate the contents of XML documents.
To join this course knowledge of the basic syntax of XML is required.
The theory is discussed on the basis of presentation slides. Demos are used to illustrate the theory. There is ample opportunity to practice. The course material is in English. The course time are from 9.30 up and to 16.30.
Participants receive an official certificate XML Schema after successful completion of the course.

All our courses are classroom courses in which the students are guided through the material on the basis of an experienced trainer with in-depth material knowledge. Theory is always interspersed with exercises.
We also do custom classes and then adjust the course content to your wishes. On request we will also discuss your practical cases.
The course times are from 9.30 to 16.30. But we are flexible in this. Sometimes people have to bring children to the daycare and other times are more convenient for them. In good consultation we can then agree on different course times.
We take care of the computers on which the course can be held. The software required for the course has already been installed on these computers. You do not have to bring a laptop to participate in the course. If you prefer to work on your own laptop, you can take it with you if you wish. The required software is then installed at the start of the course.
Our courses are generally given with Open Source software such as Eclipse, IntelliJ, Tomcat, Pycharm, Anaconda and Netbeans. You will receive the digital course material to take home after the course.
The course includes lunch that we use in a restaurant within walking distance of the course room.
The courses are planned at various places in the country. A course takes place at a location if at least 3 people register for that location. If there are registrations for different locations, the course will take place at our main location, Houten which is just below Utrecht. A course at our main location also takes place with 2 registrations and regularly with 1 registration. And we also do courses at the customer’s location if they appreciate that.
At the end of each course, participants are requested to evaluate the course in terms of course content, course material, trainer and location. The evaluation form can be found at https://www.klantenvertellen.nl/reviews/1039545/spiraltrain?lang=en. The evaluations of previous participants and previous courses can also be found there.
The intellectual property rights of the published course content, also referred to as an information sheet, belong to SpiralTrain. It is not allowed to publish the course information, the information sheet, in written or digital form without the explicit permission of SpiralTrain. The course content is to be understood as the description of the course content in sentences as well as the division of the course into modules and topics in the modules.
