There's been great anticipation surrounding the release of XSLT 2.0, the new version of the language that's critical for converting an XML document into another type of document. But XSLT 2.0's massive increase in complexity and continuing delays have put it on the shelf for a long time- Microsoft, for one, has scuttled plans to put version 2.0 in upcoming products such as Office and the next generation Windows operating system known as "Longhorn". So, XSLT 1.0 remains an essential tool for XML developers to master, but there's a dearth of books to help them learn current uses for this version. This handy pocket guide gets developers up to speed quickly on the basics of stylesheet structure, using template rules, creating a result tree, and how to apply conditional processing. Additional information is provided on transforming multiple source documents, keys, and number formatting. When it comes to XSLT, this book helps developers learn it quickly and learn it right.
