I look up your name for corresponding books I could read. I found
one, but it was written in 2001
A paper-based book publisher published a snapshot of my XSLT book in
2001 under the title "Definitive XSLT and XPath" and a snapshot of my
XSL-FO book under the title "Definitive XSL-FO" ... I retained the
electronic publishing rights to both books and I continue to publish
updates (and all updates are available at no charge to purchasers of
the electronic copies). Details and free preview copies (on a "try
and buy" basis) are available at:
http://www.CraneSoftwrights.com/training/#pdfbooks
Because the publisher published only a snapshot, the paper book
describes only XSLT 1.0, while the electronic book currently
describes both XSLT 1.0 and XSLT 2.0. Eventually the electronic book
will describe XSLT 3.0 and that revision will be available at no
charge to book purchasers that have kept their email address with me
up-to-date.
Why does it seem xslt is favorite over xQuery?
For me, the answer is that XSLT is declarative and it allows me to
leverage an existing XSLT stylesheet at a later time by overriding
template rules using importation, even if the base stylesheet is
read-only. XQuery is imperative and the importation mechanism is
limited and the lack of template matching prevents me from tweaking
behaviours while leaving the original code untouched.
I would say more about how the push and pull of XSLT works, but I've
already said it in the video and made that portion of the video
available for free.
