DESCRIPTION:
Quality book with CD worth its weight in gold Brett Merkey Having the Michael Kay book and with some XSL transformation experience under my belt, I sincerely wish I had this book earlier. XSL transformations operate unlike any other programming or document transformation language. For most of us, it is a jarring agony to learn.The book starts at the basics in a non-abstract way (unlike the Kay book) and builds your knowledge from the simple to the complex. The author's real-world experience shows to great effect here. He will take an example and build on it, not . Excellent book for beginners, but with lots of mistakes M. S. Gartner The only reason I didn't give the book five stars was the incredible number of mistakes in it. I have been studying XSLT for some time now and bought this book to fill out my knowledge and to evaluate it for use by my team of web developers. Khun Yee Fung's approach is much cleaner in many ways from the "XSLT Programmer's Reference." His method of showing how the transformation nodes get copied into the result tree before processing is very enlightening. His writing style is generally clean and his exampl. "Extremely helpful" according to A Customer. I could not have gotten through my project without this book. I had a basic understanding of simple location paths but when my project became complex I was stuck until I got this book. This book fully explained location paths in a manner which I could understand. Highly recommended. I also bought Michael Kay's XSLT Programmer's Reference but Fung's book really explains how the XSLT processor works. Kay's book is still good for quick lookup and reference. I'm glad I have both but if I had to choose just on
Organization This book is organized into four parts and three appendixes. Appendix B, "Character Sets and Encoding Schemes," provides a simple explanation of character sets and encoding schemes. This book is for anybody who wants to use XSLT to transform XML documents to HTML documents. File names are set in italics. XSLT is so versatile that it can transform one kind of XML document to another kind of XML document, to an HTML document, or to a text document. And there was a time before the time which was before the time of that beginning. These specifications are available at w3/TR. Part III The two chapters in Part III examine the usage aspects of XSLT. The most frequently used features are discussed here, with three related examples. --- Zhuang Zi
Khun Yee Fung is a senior software architect at ExtendMedia, Inc., an interactive TV and Web site content designer and provider. 0201711036AB04062001 . He has trained HTML developers to become XSLT developers, and was involved in the architecture and design of a Web site publishing system that uses XML and XSLT
Review the specifications that are tightly linked with XSLT, including XML namespaces and XPath; then walk through a series of practical examples and a detailed case study demonstrating the creation of a robust XSLT application. XML is fast becoming the standard for structuring documents for web-based information exchange. This is the first practical, comprehensive XSLT tutorial and reference based on the final standards -- which changed significantly from earlier drafts. However, for XML documents to be displayed on a web browser, they must be "transformed" -- into XSL documents on the client side, or HTML documents on the server side. XSLT, recently finalized by the W3C, is a lightweight language designed specifically for this purpose -- but reliable XSLT documentation has been extremely scarce. The book
