Book Description
Extensible Stylesheet Language Transformations, along with the XML Path Language, give you the power to transform XML documents into HTML documents, or to other XML documents that you can use in Web-based applications. But how do you implement XSLT in the real world? This book provides the answers. Covering everything from reformatting numbers to creating dynamic XSLT applications, XSLT expert Jeni Tennison delivers a wealth of ready-to-use utility templates and practical XSLT solutions -- everything you need to jump-start XSLT development. With XSLT and XPath on the Edge, Unlimited Edition, you'll:

• Take advantage of utility templates for searching and replacing strings, calculating minimums, and more
• Build your own recursive templates or use simple XPaths
• Discover ready-made solutions for filtering, numbering, grouping, and other transformations
• Understand the building blocks of XSLT applications
• Separate style from format and break up your stylesheet into functional modules that are easier to maintain and reuse
• Build dynamic applications that use client-side processing with MSXML or server-side processing with Cocoon
• Fine-tune stylesheets to work more efficiently and deliver exactly the output you're looking for
• Harness the power of the XSLT extensions available with MSXML, Saxon, and Xalan

With this Unlimited Edition, owners of the book can download all-new content from the Web and access a searchable version of the book online.

1 of 1 people found the following review helpful: Excellent Reference Book, August 30, 2004 Reviewer: C. A. Sines "coreman76" (Columbus, Ohio United States) - See all my reviews    If you are looking for a book on dealing with real world XSLT scenarios and organized accordingly by scenario. This is the book for you. Jeni (Author) is by far one of the leading XSLT experts out there. It is rare you find someone that can explain complex topics in a manor that is both concise and readable. Buy this book and it will stay with you through any project you are using XSLT on. Was this review helpful to you?  (Report this)

17 of 17 people found the following review helpful: great help for practical tasks, November 29, 2001 Reviewer: Alex Novokolsky (San Diego, CA United States) - See all my reviews This book does not teach you the concepts of XSLT. Rather, it truly delivers on a promise of providing answers to common problems. While often books use code to only illustrate the concepts explained, "XSLT and XPath On The Edge" has tons of real world code, some of which I was able to use straight from the book(without changing a thing). I believe this book really helps to bridge the gap between just understanding the basics of XSLT and using it for real life, practical applications. Was this review helpful to you?  (Report this)

29 of 32 people found the following review helpful: A book for when u need to do something....., November 1, 2001 Reviewer: James Fuller (London, na United Kingdom) - See all my reviews my first impressions are a) this book sits right next to Michael Kay's book, as it is a great reference to when u have specific problems i.e. ' How do i format dates ? ' and ' How do i group ' and 'How do i use keys'. b) the level of examples and techniques is a step above introductory. c) the latter half of the book delves into framework issues; modular components, extending XSLT, functional modules, and grouping sorting numeric manipulation string and text manipulation general formatting character encoding and entities the above subjects are all detailed in a concise manner, perfect for reference the following subjects are an indepth read; framework: quite a large amt of discussion of how to break apart into reusable elements client side msxml: this will get the novice going server side proc with cocoon: this will get the novice going overview of XPATH: very detailed overview of more medium level techniques using extensions : the clearest illustration and techniques of extending xslt that i've read overall i can highly recc. cheers, jim fuller Was this review helpful to you?  (Report this)
