[derekbanas]

@siradabasnr You're very welcome :)

[saumyajogy]

to view an xml document on d server do u save it d same way as html??

[derekbanas]

@saumyajogy xml and html are similar. xml files end with the xml extension though

[saumyajogy]

@derekbanas i tried to make an xml file and saved it as note.xml but it did not work..?

i would suggest when editing your videos to let your sentences finish. Often the ends of your sentences blend into each other when you change slides.

[dreamtownuk]

I started by watching your PHP tutorials,

Then I needed to learn some XML, first learning source came to my mind was you ;) thanks

Do you have more XML stuff?

PS: is it possible to upload a version without the music background?! Thanks

[derekbanas]

@dreamtownuk I'm going to redo this tutorial some day asap. Sorry about the music. I made this before I learned how to make tutorials :)

Very useful , thnx =)

[ciavyn]

Great video! Thank you so much -- you offer a better explanation that my professor!

[derekbanas]

@ciavyn I'm glad I was able to help. Thanks :)

slides move before you can finish reading them, no pauses between slides, tutorial moves too fast, too much back and forth between slides, not enough examples

[FourthDimension001]

The XML Video Tutorial Series is great. But its all about Theory. It would be great if the Theory is supplemented by XML Examples to better understand the concepts involved. Also , Instead of using XML would it be better to use PHP as an alternative.

Thanx .

Let me help you with a grammar rule: YOU DON'T USE AN APOSTROPHE EVERY TIME THAT YOU MAKE A WORD PLURAL!!

[dbmdbnet]

Your video tutorials are very much appreciated specifically by me. I like your "big picture" style in particular because my preferred learning method is to understand. I have to take in many different sources to see the material from different angles and you seem to hit many points and tie them together. One can always pause the action and type out the code or look up finer grained details. It is a good all around combination.

[derekbanas]

@dbmdbnet Your positive comments push me to continue making tutorials! I plan on redoing the XML tutorial very soon and include even more examples. I also will go over related topics like Soap. Thanks again :)

[kirank20dwh]

Simple and informative....

[derekbanas]

@kirank20dwh Glad you liked it. I'm working on a new tutorial with more example code.

[edizon27]

@dekebanas: This is an awesome vid tutorial. This helps me a lot to deeply understand the xml shchema! ur d man! from Singapore

[derekbanas]

@edizon27 Glad to help. It is great that people all over the world are helped by my little videos :)

[n1ght5talker]

This is great. I'm tired, I wanted an introduction to XML, I grabbed a cup of coffee and sat and listened to all 4 videos. Maybe I could have got this information from a book but what I wanted was to have someone read to me, so this was perfect. Thanks for the help.

[derekbanas]

@n1ght5talker Glad you liked it. I'm actually going to redo it soon so that it is more interactive and less book on tape though. I've gotten better at video tutorials. Thanks for the nice comment :)

To make my meaning plain, learning starts where the learner is, not where the teacher is. A million logical questions will occur to a beginner, precisely because they don't have the knowledge that teachers have. Teachers make a million assumptions at every step because they think I know this, so do the rest. Not so. The first erroneous assumption is that everything is self-explanatory. Not so. Teacher's need to put themselves in pupil's shoes and anticipate their questions. Pitfalls abound.

[buntus00]

A bunch of definitions is just like reading from the phone book. The definitions you can find on the W3C site. These are just tools. Analogy. I go to a carpenter's tool shed. I see a bunch of tools I've never seen before. I don't know what they do. So I read a book on them. I still don't know the context they are used in, or  how to use them, do I? I'd first need to a) Have an objective I wanted to achieve 2) Have explained to me what tool we should use where/ when/why + pitfalls. Make sense?

[buntus00]

I appreciate the fact you are dedicating your free time to this and for nothing, I do, but listen, you are just reading from a book, albeit your book. I don't need a tutorial if I am reading from a book. Or more properly stated, I would really need a live person to properly expand on the material in a book. You can't ask a book a question. We need someone to properly explain/ elaborate on the material. We need to see schema in action.

[derekbanas]

@buntus00 Fair point! I'm learning as I go along. My PHP tutorial is probably more like what your looking for? Thank you for taking the time to point out the errors in the teaching style and I'll make adjustments. You should look at my first video to see some real garbage. Thanks

[buntus00]

Sorry, I didn't mean to sound like an asshole, I appreciate everyone's efforts. I have learned a lot from YouTube. Sounds like I did learn a bit of PHP from you before. Your voice sounds familiar.

Sample question beginners face: I want to declare a root element

for my cd catalog. I'll call it 'catalog' but it's going to be a complex type. I was going to stick in type="xsd:string " there. But what if the child elements contain integers and dates. Will the string type be still valid?

[derekbanas]

@buntus00 Don't worry about it. I'm not 100% certain what you are going to assign to type string? The parent would be a complex type since it will contain many different values. The parent wouldn't be of type string. Sorry, I'm a bit confused

[buntus00]

All: = incomplete or over-simplified definition. All the elements in the group may appear once or not at all, and they may appear in any order. The 'All' group is limited to the top-level of any content model. Moreover, the group's children must all be individual elements (no groups), and no element in the content model may appear more than once, i.e. the permissible values of minOccurs and maxOccurs are 0 and 1.

This is helpful stuff...thanks!

[derekbanas]

@Henysheadonwall No problem. Glad to help. Thanks for the comment:)
