XMLSummerSchoolThe XML Summer School is running again this year at St Edmund Hall, Oxford University, between 15th and 20th September. It’s for every­one using, design­ing or imple­ment­ing solu­tions in XML and related tech­no­lo­gies. The innov­at­ive cur­riculum com­bines formal lec­tures, prac­tical hands-on exer­cises, inter­act­ive tutori­als and panel dis­cus­sions. There is a choice of courses on offer; for example, the three day “Hands-on intro­duc­tion to XML” is recommended for beginners and is based around the real life scenario of building your own website.
