More About the Author
Product Description
Product Description
The book covers XSLT and Xpath (as a part of XSLT), as these topics have everything to do with processing XML. It will also cover XML from an XSLT processing and design point of view. Other XML technologies will not be discussed as superset of XSLT, most notably XSL. XSL Formatting Objects alone is enough material for an entire book. Apart from that, XSLT and Xpath form the processing/programming section of the entire XSL specification. This book presents an overview of XSLT and guides readers through transforming their first XML data. In this book you will also learn:
- Selecting Data-Stylesheets and Xpath Basics;
- Inserting text and elements in output;
- Copying elements from the source and inserting text;
- Conditional processing basics and expressions;
- Modularizing stylesheets;
- Understanding, creating, and using templates;
- Controlling output, as well as creating more advanced output;
- Using multi-file stylesheets, variables, and parameters;
- Working with numbers, strings, multiple XML sources, and namespaces;
- Selecting data based upon keys;
- Recursion;
- Creating computational stylesheets;
- Working with parses;
- Designing XML and XSLT applications;
- Extending XSLT.

Fantastic Examples
8 Jan 2006
Format:Paperback
Some PROs and CONs...
Pros:
Topic flows very well. Author was able to explain each topic without asking reader to refer to upcoming forward chapters. Best part of this book are the examples. They are relevant and short and sweet enough to understand. Best of all, there are lots of examples. The author doesn't just slap them on the page and tell you to figure it out yourself. The author walks the reader thru them.
Cons:
Some areas reads like a technical manual.. causing me to reread sentences over and again. But that said, the book still comes across as tutorial friendly (You figure that out.).
Comparisons:
I rate the book 5 stars. I own Beginnning XSLT 2.0 by Tennison, XSLT 2.0 by Kay, and Mastering XSLT by White. My opinion is that XSLT in 21 days is the best book to get you to learn it the quickest because of the author's superb examples.

Good book to learn the basics
6 Aug 2003
Format:Paperback
I just can't understand why there is no rating for the book and the book is priced so low. I am a VB developer of 6 yrs experience and am in the process of learning XML and all its related technologies. I tried to read books on XSLT by different authors and was frustrated by the advanced approach taken by different authors on the subject. I tried reading Jeni Tennison's XSLT. Didn't find it useful. Kay's XSLT has a lot of information but it was written as a reference. If you are new to XSLT read this book (not Kay's book) to get your feet wet and then with some knowledge read Kay's book. Never mind Tennison's book.

3 Dec 2003
Format:Paperback|Amazon Verified Purchase
Best book to start out with XSLT;
quickly takes you to the point where you can put knowledge from the book to work;
quickly takes you to the point where you can put knowledge from the book to work;
ALSO - it is very easy to follow the Book on the road BECAUSE it explains exactly what each line of code in examples does;
Very thourough analysis and not much mumbo-jambo (as in xslt for dummmies book)
