After a one-day introduction to XML programming in C++,
students were asked for the best and worst aspects of the course.
Best |
Worst |
- Overall, it is a good course.
- You explain clearly on the concept of DOM and SAX.
|
- Switching among files ot copy and paste could be confusing. Slow down a little bit.
- Spent too much time (about 45 minutes) on debugging.
|
- Worked examples.
- Clear explanation.
|
- The DOM is made up of a fairly large number of classes.
An overview of the major classes that a programmer would most often interact with would be useful.
- Would like to know how DTD or XML Schema can be programmatically handled.
|
- Section-by-section explanation of the parts of the files and how/what they do.
|
- This isn't a criticism of the course,
but for a non-C++ person such as myself,
there's a lot of information to process.
|
|
- SAX section needs more time.
- Would like to have seen SAX handlers, howto...
- Probably should not spend too much time trying to get a project to build,
e.g. start with a pre-defined project.
