Synopsis

Many texts that teach eXtensible Stylesheet Language Transformations (XSLT) assume that their readers are developers who already have a certain level of technical knowledge. As a result, code examples are presented with minimal explanation and the focus of the material tends to target areas that are most appealing to experienced practitioners. When students read these texts, they may be left on their own to interpret the code and they may be unable to generalize beyond the specific examples due to an incomplete explanation of the material. This text is oriented toward students at the undergraduate and graduate levels who seek an introduction to XSLT that makes limited assumptions about technical background and covers a set of topics that are focused on the needs of students. Written by an author with years of experience teaching XML and XSLT to undergraduate and graduate students, this text presents intuitive examples with in-depth explanations coupled with insights and tips that mitigate typical problems that occur when working with XSLT.
