In the course XPath-XLink-XPointer the participants learn to apply the XPath, XLink and XPointer specifications to localizing and linking fragments in XML documents.
The course starts with an overview of the XML document structure and components of XML documents. This focusses on the role of elements, attributes and text. The difference between well-formed and valid documents is also discussed.
Next XPath is addressed with which nodes in an XML document that meet certain conditions can be selected. The syntax of XPath expressions with predicates, node selection and functions is discussed.
And also the various search axes that XPath has are treated.
XPath uses the data types from XML Schema and these are explained as well.
Then attention is paid to XLink with which XML fragments can be linked together. After discussing the limitations of HTML links, the Simple and Extended links in XLink are treated. Also Link Behavior and the Semantic and Traversal attributes of links are discussed.
Finally XPointer is on the course schedule with which the internals of XML documents can be addressed. The relationship to and the differences with XPath are explained.
The course XPath-XLink-XPointer is intended for anyone who wants to learn how to search XML with XPath and how to make XML connections with XLink and XPointer.
Basic knowledge of XML is required to participate in this course.
The theory is discussed on the basis of presentation slides. The theory is explained further through demos. The theory is interchanged with exercises. Course times are from 9.30am to 16.30pm.
After successful completion of the course participants receive an official certificate XPath-XLink-XPointer.

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.
