We have a number of XSL resources (non-commercial) and XSL teaching materials (commercial) on our website (through the trailer below). The commercial publication "Introduction to XSL Transformations" is 200 pages (so far) and all future updates are made freely available to those who purchase a copy (thus extending your investment). The feedback from existing customers has been very encouraging and we are planning the next release of the publication later this week after incorporating comments from those who have bought a copy and those who attended the WWW8 instructor-led lecture. If you aren't interested in commercial materials, there is also: Tutorials: http://www.hotwired.com/webmonkey/98/43/index2a.html?tw=xml http://www.xmlephant.com/pages/Learn_XML/Tutorials/ W3C Examples: http://www.xmlsoftware.com/articles/xsl-by-example.html http://www.xml.com/xml/pub/1999/04/holman/xsl.html IE5 Examples: http://www.guy-murphy.easynet.co.uk/ http://www.xml.com/xml/pub/1999/04/holman/xsl.html (same as above) The above is not included in the set of resources listed on the reference sites for each (I'm not sure what the criteria is for getting listed on the W3C site, perhaps membership in W3C is required): http://www.w3.org/Style/XSL/#learn http://msdn.microsoft.com/xml/xslguide/default.asp You will also find a wealth of examples (articles, papers, samples) at: http://www.oasis-open.org/cover/xsl.html (considered the best by many) http://www.wdvl.com/Authoring/Languages/XSL/ http://www.xmlephant.com/pages/Technologies/XSL/ When considering materials, be sure to establish which version of the working draft is being refered to in each source ... not all resources are up to date with the April 21 release of W3C XSL or the IE5 release of MSXSL. I'm sure there are more than what is above and hope others will post them so I can add them to my own list. I hope this all helps. ................. Ken -- G.
