In this folder are these Powerpoint documents:

   XQuery.ppt
   XQuery-Update.ppt
   Querying-XML-Databases.ppt

These are the tutorials. Study them in the order listed. That is,
learn XQuery first, then XQuery Update, and finally QUerying XML
databases. 

There is an examples folder for each tutorial:

   xquery-examples
   update-examples
   eXist-examples

There is a labs folder for each tutorial:

   xquery-labs
   update-labs
   eXist-labs 


They contain the lab exercises. Please do them!
That's the best way to learn the material.


There is a saxon folder. It has one folder:

   saxon


To run the examples, you need to download SAXON-SA and install its .jar files in the saxon folder. 
You can obtain SAXON-SA here:

   http://www.saxonica.com/download/saxonee9-2-0-1j.zip


Here's what the folder should contain after you've downloaded and
installed the .jar file:

   saxon
       saxon9ee.jar
       saxon9ee-qc.jar
       saxon9-sql.jar


If you find any typos please drop me a note.
