Product Description

What is this book about?

XSLT 2.0 Programmer′s Reference, 3rd Edition, is the authoritative reference guide to the language. Without using the formal and inaccessible language of the W3C specifications, it tells you exactly what every construct in the language does, and how it is intended to be used. This book is a reference rather than a tutorial; it is designed for the professional programmer who is using the language every day. It is the book that people quote when they claim that a particular product is giving the wrong answer, and the book that implementers of the language turn to when they want clarification of the specifications.

At the same time, the book is readable. Reviews of the previous editions of the XSLT Programmer’s Reference, which this book grew from, show that readers appreciate the background material on the design thinking behind the language, the essay on functional programming, the occasional dry wit, the gentle criticism of the language specification when appropriate, and the fact that the examples stray into a diverse range of interesting application areas.

From the Back Cover

When XML debuted in 1998, it was quickly embraced as both a practical tool and a strategic technology. XSLT and XPath soon became the preferred high–level languages for manipulating XML content. Now the editor of the XSLT 2.0 specification has written the ultimate reference manual for XSLT 2.0.

You’ll gain a complete understanding of the concepts underlying XSLT, what’s new in version 2.0, the structure of XSLT stylesheets, their relationship to XML schemas, and more. You will see how the language provides extensibility, and how to use it to create real XSLT applications. Finally, you will learn to use XSLT as a functional programming language to tackle complex computational problems.

What you will learn from this book

What’s new in XSLT since the previous edition of this bestselling book
Where XSLT fits into the XML family
What every construct in the language does, and how to use each one

5.0 out of 5 stars Don't write XSLT without it., 28 Jan 2007

By	David J. Corley "heavydawson" (Athlone, Ireland) - See all my reviews (REAL NAME)

Absolutely indispensable guide to XSLT 2.0. Kay not only provides a fantastic reference for all the language features, but includes some excellent examples.
Readers should note that this book should really be ALWAYS bought with the XPath 2.0 programmers reference also by Michael Kay. The two languages are inseparable and you will constantly find yourself switching from book to book.
Kay also maintains the most well-known XSLT 2.0 processor currently available, Saxon, which you'd be well advised to also download (it's free and open-source).

4.0 out of 5 stars Excellent reference - but be prepeared for a long haul, 31 Jan 2008

By	Mr. Paul Whyte "P Whyte" (Cambridge, UK) - See all my reviews (REAL NAME)

This book is a fantastic reference for XSLT. With really thorough examples and detailed descriptions of every aspect of the language. However; if you want to pick up XSLT quickly this might not be be book for you due to the heaviness of the detail...
