Many of you have been writing us positive comments about the technical content of this Blog. We are happy to hear you find the information in this pages useful; both Marc and I always try hard posting on topics about which we hear a lot of interest when we talk to XQuery developers and users of our XML products, DataDirect XQuery and XML Converters.
One of the things we have been hearing from you is that you would like us to offer workshops or tutorials on how to use XQuery in real life scenarios; and I'm glad to let you know that we have recently announced a tour of a few cities in the United States and Europe to offer you all a *free* workshop on XQuery! During this hands-on workshop we will be writing, testing and deploying real XML and XQuery-based solutions, live in front of you!
We will start with some typical scenarios where a hypothetical IT organization needs to create a set of data services exposing various functionality. The workshop covers:
- Transforming XML documents into user-defined formats
- Aggregating XML documents with relational data
- Consuming Web services in XQuery
- Exposing XQuery as data services
- Integrating with non-XML B2B standards, like EDI
- Adhering to XML industry standards, such as ACORD for insurance
The workshop is highly interactive, and we really need your help to solve the various problems that we introduce! Again, these events are entirely free and you just need to register in advance to attend; dates, locations and registration details are available here.
We all hope to see you soon in one of the cities we are visiting.
