Re: [xsl] Beginner Book For XSL/XSLT

2010-06-25 02:55:13
I'd go with Michael Kay's XSLT 2.0 and XPath 2.0.

Version 2.0 is such an advance, that it makes sense to go with it asap.

The other reason, is that it's pretty easy to work out what you want
to do with xslt and xml. The difficult part is expressing the ideas in
xslt. The problem is how do I do xyz, not working out that you want
xyz. Michaels book (chap 17 and others) has a lot of detail on
different ways to achieve xyz. It's also a pretty good reference book
and its in a hard cover. My other large wrox books have collapsed over
the years.

This information was provided almost two years ago and I am not aware
of new resources appearing since then.

What is a good beginner's book for the latest versions of XSL and XSLT? I
am starting something called a "Java Immersion Program" which will teach
Java and other enterprise web technologies, and I think XSL/T will be one
of them. I've dabbled with this in the distant past (2-3 years ago), but
really know nothing about it.

Any pointers to great books are much appreciated.
