XML Video Tutorial

XML Video TutorialI recently asked what tutorial you’d like to see next. The most popular request was for a new XML Video Tutorial. So, since I can make this pretty quickly I decided to cover XML now.

When you start learning XML it seems very simple. That however changes very quickly. In the next few tutorials, I’ll do my best to make learning XML much easier.

The code that follows the video will help you learn.

  1. Hi!

    Thanks for sharing your knowledge! I’m missing the xml options in Eclipse… Do I need some kind of a special extension or a plug-in or something else to create an xml file? Or should I install this ‘web editor’?

    Peace

    1. I just use the standard web plugin that is built in. The XML editor is terrible so don’t use it. I’m yet to find a good free xml plugin for XML. If you don’t see what I have on the screen you may need to update Eclipse to the newest version. I hope that helps

        1. Thank you 🙂 I can definitely cover Xquery in the future, but I’m focusing on software engineering at the moment. Thank you very much for the request and I’ll add it to the list

  2. Thanks a great deal for putting this videos on here. Is it possible to download or purchase your your tutorial videos?

    1. You’re very welcome 🙂 I’m glad you like them. If you liked this, I have a new XML video tutorial that is much better. I don’t sell anything. All of my videos are 100% free and you can embed them anywhere you’d like.

    1. Thank you 🙂 Sorry I can’t cover DOS at this time because I don’t have a PC. Eventually I’ll install Windows on my MAC so I can cover C# and other PC only technologies

  4. Wonderful tutorial.

    BTW, the XSL file name that is given differs in the video and in the source code that you list on this page.

    The source code gives the XSL file name as tvshow.xsl (singular), while the video gives it as tvshowS.xsl (plural – I uppercased the S for emphasis)

    I typed my own versions of the XML and XSL files (giving the style sheet a name of tvshowS.xsl), and wondered why the stylesheet wasn’t kicking in. After, I changed the XSL file name to tvshow.xsl – it worked as it does in the video.

  5. There are a lot of different choices on the eclipse download page, I am currently taking a XML class at school, was just wondering which one you are using. I am learning a lot from your videos and would like to follow along with the correct eclipse program.

    Thanks.

  6. I’m a working UI developer and your tutorials are fantastic. Very straight forward and your teaching style fits very well with the way that I learn. Thank you very much for offering these great aids. You’ve made me a lot more marketable.

  7. Hi Derek. I’ve been following your java tutorials and I’ve gained a lot from them. Thank you very much. If you wont mind, can you prepare some tutorials on JavaFX? That would be great.
