Here I end my XML Video tutorial by covering complex types, sequence, groups, and a ton more! I also show you how to design schemas and XML files using the Eclipse design tools.
If you missed the past tutorials, here they are based on topic: XML Video Tutorial, XSL Video Tutorial, XPATH Video Tutorial, DTD Video Tutorial, Entity Video Tutorial and part 1 of my Schema Tutorial.
All of the code from the video and more follow the video.
In part 1 of my XML Schema video tutorial I introduce you to XML schema files. This of course is a continuation of my XML Video Tutorial.
I talk about schemas, namespaces, the different data types available, how to restrict the data, enumerations and much more.
I thought it would be best to break up this sometimes confusing subject. Use the code below to better understand what I’m doing.
In this part of my XML video tutorial, I will cover how to use an entity. I’ll also show you how to combine XML, DTD and XSL files.
You can use an entity to create shortcuts in your DTD files. You create personal codes like those built into XML like < is replaced with <.
Through using these codes you’ll be able to pull data either from within the DTD file, or from external files. All of the code follows the video.
In this part of my XML Video Tutorial, I cover Document Type Definitions (DTD). DTDs are used to define the markup for your XML files.
We use DTD files to make sure data is valid and so multiple people can work together in a standardized way.
It sounds really complicated, but you are just defining what elements are required in the XML file and what type of data each element must have. The code after the video will help you learn.
This is a massive tutorial! It could be called a xpath tutorial / xml Template tutorial / XSL Video Tutorial. I cover all of those topics and a whole bunch more.
I’ve also spent a bunch of time looking for common questions about XML and have included those answers in this XML Video Tutorial.
If you missed part 1 of my XML Video Tutorial, check it out first. All of the code follows the video and it’s heavily commented to help you learn XML.
In part 1 of my XML Video Tutorial, I covered the basics of creating an XML file in Eclipse. In this tutorial, I teach you how to use eXtensible Style Language (XSL).
I can’t even briefly cover everything in this tutorial. Suffice to say, I show you how to do just about anything you’d ever want to do with XSL. At least I covered everything I could fit in a 15 minute video.
Use the code below to help you better understand XSL.
I 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.
Here I present a video version of my XML Tutorial. I went out of my way to cover nearly all of the capabilities provided to you with XML. If you have any questions or want further information, leave a comment below.
