Book Description
The only book a developer needs with practical examples of using XSLT to transform XML data for Web display and e-commerce.
Special Edition Using XSLT quickly demonstrates the key concepts of transforming XML and offers practical implementation advice.
Provides real-world examples for developers who are learning--many competing titles are for advanced developers only. Also covers the use of XSLT with Java and JSP--most competing titles do not offer this practical advice.
A next natural step for readers of the bestselling XML by Example who need an in-depth guide to XSLT. Special Edition Using XSLT starts with an overview explaining how XSLT fits into the bigger picture of the Extensible Stylesheet Language, and the differences between XSLT and XSL-FO. It then demonstrates practical examples of XSL transformations from XML to a variety of other useful formats including HTML, PDF, SVG and others. Later chapters discuss developer techniques for implementing XSLT within dynamic web environments including ASP and JSP. The author also covers debugging techniques and how XSLT relates to .NET. The book finishes with a useful reference section including detailed coverage of XSLT, XPath and XSL-FO.
Lead author Michael Floyd is a veteran author, editor and XML developer who has been involved with XSLT since its inception. He provides XML training through BeyondHTML.com, and edits the XML.org newsletter. He's chaired numerous conferences and tracks including the GCA's XML 2000. He was Executive Editor of Dr. Dobb's Journal for seven years, and also served as Web Techniques first Editor-in-Chief. His XML column subsequently ran in the publication for more than three years. Previously, Michael wrote the first XML book for Web developers, "Building Web Sites with XML," published by Prentice-Hall in 1999.
