Whatever your XML applicationse-business, application integration, Web- and paper-based publishing, or content managementyou need to master XSLT and XPath, today's key tools for transforming information into new and varied structured vocabularies and output formats. Definitive XSLT & XPath delivers concise, authoritative coverage of every key facet of these W3C recommendations.
Nobody has taught more about XSLT and XPath than G. Ken Holmanchair of OASIS's XSLT/XPath Conformance Technical Subcommittee and long-time leader in the XML community. In this book, Holman draws upon live training materials to help you master the XSLT and XPath standardsfastjust as he's done for thousands of developers.
- Getting started with XSL transformations and the XML Path language: capabilities, concepts, and key techniques
- An in-depth introduction to the XPath data model
- Mastering XSLT's processing model and transformation environment
- Practical techniques for XSLT stylesheet management and process control
- Advanced techniques: XPath and XSLT expressions, sorting, grouping, and more
- XML-to-HTML transformation, basic XML-to-XSL formatting concepts, questions to ask XSLT/XPath tool vendors
When you're ready to get results, go straight to the source: G. Ken Holman's Definitive XSLT & XPath.
"The key to XML application development is transformations-converting XML data into other forms with XSLT and XPath. Ken Holman is the expert I rely on for advice on this subject. Now you can, too, with this book."

If you are looking for a reference, I would say this book could come in handy and be useful, but I may consider seeing if better options are available. If you are looking for a primer, I'd steer clear of this text, or I would look for a preliminary introduction online before cracking it open. |
 This guy was instramental in defining what XSLT is!, February 3, 2003
The examples are clear and definitive - if you have the ability to read XML and understand programming logic. Though Holman makes a clear point that XSLT is not a traditional programming language - but he does an excellent job of distinguishing the what, why and how of making the transition. |

The author does not express himself in layman terms. Instead, I think that one would have to be fairly familar with the technologies that the author is trying to explain to really appreciate this book. Was this review helpful to you?   |

19 of 19 people found the following review helpful: Not just the 'how', but the 'why' of XSLT and XPath., February 25, 2002
G Ken Holman is a very smart person. He's written a book that is a very strong investigation of the theory behind XSLT and he works very hard to try to bend the mind of the reader to a new way of looking at processing XML. Many readers will be used to procedural text preprocessing, like I was, and this book sets itself apart from the rest with this very authoritative and thorough background. Ken frequently addresses higher-level concepts like how to manage stylesheets and how they fit in context with other XML and web technologies. Dont' get stuck trying to use XSLT for something it wasn't designed for! I looked at 5 other XSLT books and in this one the examples were more varied and re-world and explained in more detail. But a million examples will do no good if you make one modification, it breaks and you don't know why. This book's primary contribution is answering the 'why'. I didn't have to play with xslt for long to realize that you can get stuck for a long time on a tiny little bug that isn't evident unless you have a full explanation of the standard. XSLT and XPath syntax drives me crazy and it can be very hard to 'see' what is going to happen when the transform is run. There's probably no fix for that. This book is properly focused on trying to fill in the holes in your understanding so you can code effectively. |
