The VirtualXML ConCourse is an electronic learning community for XML and registration for the first 3 month session is now open. XML-DEV has shown that the virtual environment can produce a community of experts and a spirit in which unique achievements can be created. The founders, Peter Murray-Rust and Henry Rzepa, have now extended this concept to include newcomers to XML. In our "ConCourse" everyone can experience the same atmosphere and excitement in a learning environment. The ConCourse has a very rich XML environment with lots for everyone. It creates a collaborative approach where you share your knowledge, expertise and experience with others who have complementary skills. Whether you have no previous knowledge of XML, or have successfully mastered some of the basics your horizons and creativity will expand. The ConCourse's self-paced learning path has many options for personal diversion and self assessment on the way. Tutorial guidance is completely electronic, including the leading WebCT system. Although membership is by subscription, some of our specially prepared material is publicly available. All materials, including the ConCourse itself, are created in XML and you can see: - examples of the ConCourse architecture - XML over the wire (including SVG and CML) - A glossary of XML terms - in XML - examples of our detailed tutorial and installation instructions - slide shows and talks about XML, created in XML - rendering and printing XML Our approach is through communal projects, discussion and "learning by doing". Members receive a 350 MByte CDROM to give members a very wide variety of XML tools so they can carry out all basic XML operations. We give detailed instructions on how to load, run, and interpret results. The CDROM also contains the complete searchable archives of XML-DEV until 2000-02. We are delighted to announce that we have been joined in the ConCourse by: Ken Holman, Crane Softwrights Ltd. Simon St. Laurent Ken and Simon are leading figures in XML and have written, tutored and lectured copiously. Ken is the author of an unique set of electronic material for XSLT, and Simon is the author of several best selling XML books. They will be joining us to share their insights into XML and to provide the latest news and views on key areas.
