Product Description
Product Description
Extensible Style Language Transformation (XSLT) is the language used in XSL style sheets to transform XML documents into other XML documents. XSLT represents a major breakthrough for digital content, providing a new way of translating Web content from XML into the various standards populating the wired and wireless world such as HTML, XHTML, WML, and others.Written by the leading architects of the XSLT transformation technology responsible for the standardization efforts for the W3C technologies, this book introduces Web developers and content designers to what is widely expected to replace Perl as a Web translator. Readers will find expert guidance on how to create the transformation sheets that guide the process of translation, how to optimize content for the most frequent formats through the use of transformation hints, as well as how to install and use the necessary software.
From the Back Cover
The complete, authoritative guide to the powerful new Web translation technology
XSLT
Professional Developer′s Guide
XSLT offers a fast, efficient, relatively simple way to transform XML documents into other XML formats, or any of the other languages currently used for presenting Web content, including HTML, XHTML, and WML. Among other things, this means that now, with XSLT, you no longer have to create separate content versions for presentation in different formats.
Written by professionals who have been intensively working with XSLT projects, this is the first guide for Web developers, wireless programmers, and content designers on how to use this breakthrough technology.
With the help of numerous clear examples, authors Johan Hjelm and Peter Stark provide expert, step–by–step guidance on how to:
∗ Create transformation sheets that guide the XSLT translation process
∗ Make XML work with any content and for any wired or wireless device
∗ Make simple transformations between formats
∗ Use XSLT with XML, HTML, XHTML, WML, and other common standards
The CD–ROM contains:
∗ Transformation engine
∗ Authoring tools
∗ Transformation sheets for a number of Web formats
Professional Developer′s Guides
The Professional Developer′s Guide series provides the first in–depth look at recent or emerging programming technologies. Experienced programmers and developers will find comprehensive coverage of new programming standards as well as code, sample programs, developer′s tools, and applications that will make learning a new programming language much easier.

Format:Paperback
I would not recommend this book to anyone. It is best described as a structure-free, disjointed rambling tirade of complexity that never gets to the point. For those who want a practical guide to XSLT programming, do not go anywhere near this book. When I want to learn a new technology I like to read a book that builds knowledge by carefully structured example and easy to understand text. This comes nowhere near.

The definitive book on XSLT
16 Nov 2001
Format:Paperback
What can I say? This is the definitive book on XSLT.
There is no question that Hjelm and Stark has done a fine job of covering the subject matter in this book. They discuss the XSLT and its use in depth, as well as giving GREAT example code. It is packed with related topics including HTML, XHTML, WML, etc. This book is probably not aimed at absolute beginners, but rather assumes a familiarity with HTML and related technologies, and that the reader is just expanding into XSLT. In particular it is assumed that the reader is familiar with XML. The authors' style of writing seemed very readable, clear and concise. In summary, this 320-page book is a great introduction for those who want to approach XSLT applications. It is more a book for inspiration than reference, although most of what you would need to look up is in there somewhere. Its strength is in the depth and detail of the examples and explanations.

great book
16 Nov 2001
Format:Paperback
Great book, packed with code. I appreciated that it didn't talk down to me like other books on this topic have done. It took me right to where I wanted to go. No problems with anything on the CD. Packed with code that I was able to put to use right away.

A real how to book
15 Nov 2001
Format:Paperback
I've already read the tomes on XSLT and I was just looking for a how-to with plenty of examples. I wanted to be sure the author had connection to W3C and that's what these guys have. What a surprise when I opened the zip files on the CD to find just that. If you need a complete reference on the topic, this book isn't for you. If you want to learn how to create transformation sheets, then this is it!
