More About This Textbook

Overview

This followup to Jeni Tennison's Beginning XSLT has been updated to accomodate the revised XSLT standard. Part one of this book introduces XML and XSLT at a comfortable pace, and gradually demonstrates techniques for generating HTML (plus other formats), from XML. In part two, Tennison applies theory to real-life XSLT capabilities—including generating graphics.

Each chapter includes step-by-step examples (with code available online), plus review questions at the end, to help you grasp the discussed features. In fact, all of the examples and exercises revolve around an interesting common theme: making TV listings available online. This book lives up to its name, and will definitely take you from a novice to a professional, in no time!

Editorial Reviews

From Barnes & Noble
The Barnes & Noble Review
Whether you’re just starting out with XSLT and XPath, or you’re moving up to the 2.0 standards, Beginning XSLT 2.0 covers everything you need to know to solve virtually any transformation problem.

Jeni Tennison, an invited expert on the W3C’s XSL working group, knows the standards backward and forward. As befits a book subtitled From Novice to Professional, though, she begins with the absolute basics -- assuming you know some HTML and CSS, but little more.

Using plenty of sample code and output, she walks through all facets of XSLT 2.0: templates, conditional processing, manipulating atomic values, variables, paths, sequences, result trees, sorting, grouping, and more. You’ll find practical guidance on constructing applications; handling backwards compatibility; using dynamic transformations; even interpreting RSS with XSLT. Handy quick-reference appendices make the book a true “single source” for any developer. Bill Camarda, from the October 2005 Read Only
