WITC April Monthly Meeting - XML
4/10/2003
XML (Extensible Markup Language) is now viewed as the standard way information will be exchanged between environments that do not share common platforms. Since it is an open and not proprietary form of communication, XML can allow anyone to view information at any time. Join us as we investigate the newest advances in XML, its benefits and drawbacks. We will also touch on XML in its different forms and how they can help your organization.
