The two resources I use all the time are:
1) the "bible" (Michael Kay's XSLT Programmer's Reference)
2) the FAQ (Dave Pawson's http://www.dpawson.co.uk/xsl/index.html)
I also keep around a printed copy of the mini-references at Mullberry Tech
site:

Subject: Re: [xsl] XSL Beginner Resources [was XSL equivalent of SQL having]
Hi,
I had the same problem, I couldn't find any really good resource about
XSL; so I decided that the best, like always, was to get some good
books, and so I did.
I got XSLT by Michiel van Otegem in italian, this was a good
introduction, it's a tutorial book, one of those that you read only
once. Then, when I understud the idea of XSLT y I got two more book,
that i refer to always:
XSLT Cookbook by Sal Mangano, O'Reilly.
Essential XML Quick Reference by Aaron Skonnard and Martin Gudgin.
This lats one is a most have.
Bye
Francesco.

Yes, you can nest the [], like you writed before:
/one/two[child::three[(_at_)atribute='value']]
You can also do it in other ways, for example:
//three[parent::two and @attribute='value']
yes I know, this example is pretty stupid, but was only to show that
in Xpath you can match the same thing with dirrente expressions.
Thanks very much; I appreciate the examples.
I am curious where people learn these things. I feel like I am missing
some
parts of the big XSL picture. In other programming languages I generally
just read the API documentation, but think language (declarative?) is
completely unfamiliar to me.
What are some good web resources to start with? I know of w3c, w3schools
and msdn, which can be pretty good for low-level stuff, but is there some
kind of cheat-sheet for the high-level things? I don't have time for a
thick book.
Thanks,
-John
