1. Exploring XML
2. Web Site Development with Active Server Pages
1. Exploring XML
09:30 - 16:30 Tuesday 26th March 2002
At Strathclyde University
The advent of XML heralds a revolution in web development,
providing
a means of delivering information in a variety of ways and to different
devices. XML offers new opportunities and challenges to both people creating
web pages and those involved in sophisticated back-end information systems,
set to provide a powerful and flexible alternative to the long established
language HTML.
This practical workshop, aimed at experienced HTML authors, introduces a
wide range of new and exciting possibilities from multiple content
transformations to creating WAP pages and producing XML from databases.
Workshop Content:
The workshop will comprise presentations, demonstrations and hands-on
sessions with opportunities for questions and discussion. Participants will
each receive a workbook which contains workshop exercises, presentation
slides and other relevant materials.
Workshop Requirements
Participants are are expected to be familiar with the windows desktop and
MUST have experience in writing pages in HTML including Forms. A basic
knowledge of Cascading Style Sheets is assumed and familiarity with the
concepts of scripting and server side processing. Experience in writing
scripts would be an advantage but not essential.
2. Web Site Development with Active Server Pages (ASP)
09:30 - 16:30 Wednesday 27th March 2002
At Strathclyde University
Web developers and web managers are increasingly aware of
the
potential offered by dynamically generated web content to complement or
enhance static HTML pages. Active Server Pages (ASP) are a technology which
can be used to create dynamic web content. It is easily and quickly learned
by web developers with a minimum of programming experience. Practical uses
of ASP include: collecting user input via web forms, tailoring/personalising
web content for individual users and developing interactive web-based
information or training resources.
This practical workshop is aimed at web site developers who would like to
understand how ASPs can be used to develop dynamic web content. It gives
both an overview of the potential of ASPs, and teaches the practical skills
needed to use them.
Workshop Content:
The workshop will comprise presentations, demonstrations and hands-on
sessions with opportunities for questions and discussion. Participants will
each receive a workbook which contains workshop exercises, presentation
slides and other relevant materials.
Workshop Requirements
In order to gain the most from this workshop, participants will need to have
a basic understanding of HTML (including HTML forms) as well as knowledge of
basic programming concept (e.g. variables, loops, if statements). Note that
this workshop specifically covers the use of Active Server Pages using
VBscript on a PC.
The cost of the workshops is 120 pounds for participants from UK higher and
further education. Other participants should contact Netskills for the
relevant fees. Note: Costs include lunch, morning coffee and afternoon tea.
Joining details and further information will be sent to participants prior
to the workshop.
