***XML for Beginners, Wednesday Nov 10th, 2004***
Held at the Science Museum of Minnesota,
**RLG sponsorship makes this workshop a steal - 1 day of XML for $125!**
Designed for information professionals in the cultural heritage community,
this workshop employs numerous examples, demonstrations, and structured,
hands-on exercises in a computer lab setting to acquaint participants with
XML (eXtensible Markup Language).
By the close of the workshop you will have acquired a thorough introduction
to XML and be able to
- articulate why XML is important for museums and libraries,
- create your very own XML markup language,
- write XML documents using a plain text editor
- present your XML documents on the web using Cascading Stylesheets
What you learn in this workshop will enable you to evaluate uses of XML for
making your institution's data and information more accessible to people as
well as computers.
Please register before October 8th at
https://corpweb.igs.net/~clarkeservices/mcn//Mcn2004/2004reg.htm to secure
a seat - space in the lab is limited to 10 participants, and seats are
going fast!
