Re: [xsl] How did you learn XSL?

This is not meant to be a XSLT tutorial. These are just my personal
memories, largely learnt on this list. This is a kind of my personal,
online XSLT diary :)

Thanks for this turn Mukul.

I suspect my blog could also have something to do with XSLT -- I only
tried to put there what I have found really amazing: from cascading
deletes, spelling checking and concordance, a SUDOKU solver, to a
general LR parser and processing JSON directly with XSLT. Certainly,
most of these problems originated in the xsl-list.

For a period of 2-3 months I was deeply engaged solving Project Euler
problems (65 of them so far) and most of them with XSLT.
Unfortunately, it is against the rules of Project Euler to publish a
solution, but I highly recommend these problems to any XSLTeer and be
assured that all of them can be solved easily with XSLT :)

Perhaps, somebody might be interested to look at this page.

Liam,

started, rather than everything that helped them on the way,
although that's an equally interesting question :-)

Also keep in mind that there are increasing numbers of XSLT users who aren't
on this list. I don't know whether or how that might skew results, but I do
know that (for example) graduate programs are finally starting to teach it.

People who start that way might not be on this list.

Me: I was coding DSSSL, then I learned from Tony Graham, the XPath and XSLT
Recs (drafts and final), and this list.

Oh, and teaching it -- there's nothing like having to explain something to
someone to help clarify the concepts. I recommend it. :-)

Cheers,
Wendell
