    About this ebook

    XSLT is a powerful language for transforming XML documents into something else. That something else can be an HTML document, another XML document, a Portable Document Format (PDF) file, a Scalable Vector Graphics (SVG) file, a Virtual Reality Modeling Language (VRML) file, Java code, or a number of other things. You write an XSLT stylesheet to define the rules for transforming an XML document, and the XSLT processor does the work.As useful as XSLT is, its peculiar characteristics make it a difficult language in which to get started. In fact, newcomers are often a little dazed on first contact. Learning XSLT offers a hands-on introduction to help them get up to speed with XSLT quickly. The book will help web developers and designers understand this powerful but often mystifying template-driven and functional-styled language, getting them over the many differences between XSLT and the more conventional programming languages.Learning XSLT moves smoothly from the simple to complex, illustrating all aspects of XSLT 1.0 through step-by-step examples that you'll practice as you work through the book. Thorough in its coverage of the language, the book makes few assumptions about what you may already know. You'll learn about XSLT's template-based syntax, how XSLT templates work with each other, and gain an understanding of XSLT variables. Learning XSLT also explains how the XML Path Language (XPath) is used by XSLT and provides a glimpse of what the future holds for XSLT 2.0 and XPath 2.0.The ability to transform one XML vocabulary to another is fundamental to exploiting the power of XML. Learning XSLT is a carefully paced, example-rich introduction to XSLT that will have you understanding and using XSLT on your own in no time.

      Had someone told me that I would enjoy a book about XML, I would have laughed in their face, and probably followed it up with a rant about XML’s inherent evil.But work is in the process of getting a CMS that uses XSL stylesheets to transform content, and, much to my surprise, I’m starting to look forward to it. Some issues I had been having with our current system seem like they may be solvable with XML and XSL, and, best of all, once the stylesheets are written, I probably won’t have to update the data!Part of the reason I’m enjoying the book, I think, is that it’s written in a “Try this, see the results. Cool, eh? Now try this!” style that’s a refreshing change from many other tech books that read more like reference manuals than tutorials (cf., Learning Python, which is pretty awful).
