As others have mentioned, don't make people sit through XPath 1.0, XSLT 1.0 etc. As an example, to replace your "tallest" path, I'd probably go with * XML (including namespaces, xml:base, xml:id and mentioning the "infomation set" glossary) * Intro to XPath, mention XSLT, XQuery, XLink, XPointer * Validation - DTDs and intro to XSD, mention relaxNG and schematron at this point... * XDM * XSLT 2 * XQuery * XInclude and XProc * XQuery FUll Text * XQuery Update * XQuery Scripting Extensions, proprietary extensions, 3rd party modules, etc. You need XDM in there since XSLT 2 and friends operate not on XML but on XDM instances, which might be (and often are) for example views of a SQL database, or some other non-XML source. (again, this is just a path to get to XQuery update and XQuery+XPath Full Text) Not sure I want to write a curriculum for you though :-) Liam -- Liam Quin - XML Activity Lead, W3C, http://www.w3.org/People/Quin/ Pictures from old books: http://fromoldbooks.org/ Ankh: irc.sorcery.net irc.gnome.org www.advogato.org
