Sams Teach Yourself XSLT in 21 Days Summary

Sams Teach Yourself XSLT in 21 Days by Michiel Van Otegem

Sams Teach Yourself XSLT in 21 Days covers XSLT and Xpath (as a part of XSLT), as these topics have everything to do with processing XML. It also covers XML from an XSLT processing and design point-of-view. Other XML technologies will not be discussed, most notably XSL, as superset of XSLT. XSL Formatting Objects alone form enough material for an entire book. Apart from that XSLT and Xpath form the processing/programming section of the entire XSL specification.

Now, nearly two decades later, he is a pioneer in Web development, quick to embrace technologies such as XML and ASP(.NET). He has worked with a wide range of languages and platforms, including ASP(.NET), Visual Basic, Access/SQL Server, C/C++, CGI/Perl, PHP, and, of course, XML and XSLT.
