SGML University Presents "Making XML Work"

SGML University is pleased to present "Making XML Work", the
first XML course with "hands-on" experience using XML tools. The
course will be taught by Tim Bray and Brian Travis.

Tim Bray is a member of the committee that created XML, and was a
driving force behind its development and implementation. Tim
recently chaired the first conference devoted to XML.

Brian Travis is the Chancellor of SGML University, President of
Information Architects, and co-author of The SGML Implementation
Guide.

XML101 is an intensive hands-on tutorial using XML tools that

developing your own XML applications.
