Week 2, Day 2: Tuesday, July 19, 2022

Synopsis

Implementing publication strategies. The morning is devoted to typeswitch, an operator that helps us mimic XSLT template processing in XQuery. With typeswitch, we begin to develop the view components of the laboratory edition’s MVC architecture. In session two, participants return to the application in eXist-db and gain experience with application requirements for search and reading view features. To close out the day, we work on XQuery problems and concepts that appear in real life project issues.

Outcome goals

• Add more information to this feature.
• Practice XQuery.
• Focus on the view in MVC in an eXist-db context.
• Connect the data, model, and view.
• Build a simplified search.
