XMLClassroom.com Introduces the Most Comprehensive Web-Based Training for Certification

New Course Developed by XMLSolutions Corporation and Interactive Media Corporation

WASHINGTON, Dec. 5 /PRNewswire/ -- XMLClassroom.com launched the most comprehensive online training for IBM's XML certification Test 140, XML and Related Technologies, v1. XMLClassroom.com, introduced at XML 2000 in Washington, DC, is a one-stop source for web-based instruction designed to provide real-world knowledge of XML and associated technologies.

Developed by leading XML experts, XMLClassroom.com's XML certification preparation course is the first web-based training program to target IBM's XML certification exam. This training course is available immediately at www.xmlclassroom.com. The course is divided into modules that include: Introduction to XML, Writing XML Documents, Information Modeling, Transformation and Rendering, and Programming XML. Also included along with the course is a Business Case Study and an interactive practice exam.

``As individuals and corporations seek to capitalize on opportunities generated by the swift evolution of e-business, XMLClassroom.com addresses the overwhelming global need for state-of-the-art XML knowledge and skills,'' said JP Morgenthal, XMLSolutions' Chief Technical Officer. ``Understanding how to leverage the power of XML in real-world enterprise situations is key to individuals and companies that want to keep pace with the fast-changing world of B2B information exchange and Enterprise Application Integration. Attaining XML certification is an excellent first step in acquiring an XML skill set.''

A second course, ``Building XML Proficiency,'' will be available in early 2001. This advanced course will provide instruction in developing 'industrial-strength' XML applications and is the recommended follow-up course to ``Preparing for IBM's Test 140, XML and Related Technologies, v1.''

XMLClassroom.com is operated by XMLSolutions Corporation. The course content was developed from XMLSolutions instructor-led training programs and was repurposed for Internet-based training through a partnership with Interactive Media Corporation, a leading developer of e-learning solutions for the Web.
