XML Fundamentals
XML is one of the key technologies for connecting new front-end applications with existing business logic and data.
The appeal of XML is that it offers a cross-platform method for describing data that can be integrated with a wide variety of other development methodologies.
This presentation covers the basics of XML syntax and how you can use XML to make your applications more adaptable.
It also includes a discussion of some of the iSeries tools and functions that are available to ease the transition to XML.
