Description
Whatever your XML applications -- B2B, B2C, application integration, or content management -- you need to master XSLT and XPath, today's key tools for transforming information into new structured vocabularies and output formats. Definitive XSLT & XPath delivers concise, authoritative coverage of every key facet of the W3C recommendations. Nobody knows more about XSLT and XPath than author G. Ken Holman -- chair of OASIS' XSLT Conformance Technical Subcommittee, and long-time leader of the XML community. In this book, Holman draws upon his live training materials to help you master XSLT, XPath and related standards fast -- even the newest specifications. Coverage includes: the XPath data model and XSLT's processing model; XPath and XSLT's transformation environments; and closely associated specifications such as XSL, XPointer, XML Query, and the new XML Schema Structures and Datatypes. Holman introduces practical techniques for XSLT stylesheet management and process control; then presents advanced techniques ranging from expressions to sorting, grouping, and topic maps. For every developer or content delivery specialist working with XML technologies.
