Stylus Studio has announced the availability of the world's fastest XQuery tutorial. "Unlike over-priced, boring, or confusing online XQuery training seminars," the company says,  "Learn XQuery in 10 Minutes is fast, easy, and free."

 The new tutorial is written by XML industry guru, Dr. Michael Kay (pictured), founder of Saxonica, the producer of the Saxon XQuery and XSLT processor. Dr. Kay is a member of the W3C committee on XQuery, XPath and XSLT, and the author of numerous best-selling XML books. Software developers and managers looking for ways to give their development teams a leg-up can read the new tutorial online today at http://www.stylusstudio.com/xquery_primer.html.

This new XQuery tutorial is designed for anyone who wants to know what XQuery is but doesn't have the time to find out. StylusStudio says it "knows the problem: so many exciting new technologies, so little time to research them all. Fortunately, XQuery is easy to learn, and a far cry easier than any other technology you're currently using for XML data integration."

Learn XQuery in 10 Minutes covers the following topics:

• What is XQuery For?
• Building Your First XQuery
• Accessing XML Documents with XQuery
• XQuery FLWOR Expressions
• Generating XML Output with XQuery
• Understanding the Relationship between XQuery and Databases

In just 10 minutes, this powerful XQuery tutorial will transform average-Joe developer to XQuery geniuses, the company says.

The company also encourages developers who take the tutorial to then build real-world XQuery applications with Stylus Studio 6 XML Enterprise Edition, which it says is the world's leading XQuery development tool. The product has full support for XQuery Editing, XQuery Mapping, XQuery Debugging, XQuery Profiling, and more.

"Stylus Studio is the first and only XML IDE to fully support the latest XQuery 1.0 working draft (April 2005)," according to the company. Furthermore, new support for Java code generation and XQuery output validation means users can quickly and easily develop and deploy live XQuery applications using industry-leading XQuery processing components like DataDirect XQuery? and Saxon. A free trial is available for download.
