Subject: RE: [xsl] Wrox book still the best xslt how-to book? From: Bruce Kyle <bruce.kyle@xxxxxxxxxxxxx> Date: Wed, 20 Mar 2002 13:16:39 -0800 |
This is only my opinion as one who has purchased and used many of these books. I agree that Professional XSL is excellent as a text for learning and relearning. It goes from 50,000-feet and into the detail you need to figure out what technology you want and why. It's sorta top down approach. I liked Jeni's book very much too. It's got things I can use in it. And when I have a problem that's the first place I turn. It's nuts and bolts. And Mike's book is equally awesome for what it does, explains how each thing works and pulls the pieces together in a context. It seems to be to look from the detail up. I also like Tidwell's OReilly's book, which seems to approach it like a programming class. Instead of top down, or bottom up, you can learn it sideways just like another other programming language class. I haven't gotten the others yet so I can't speak on them. My experience is that most of the books are excellent efforts given different approaches. At least that's my two cents. Hope this helps. bruce -----Original Message----- From: Robert Koberg [SMTP:rob@xxxxxxxxxx] Sent: Wednesday, March 20, 2002 12:54 PM To: xsl-list@xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx Subject: Re: [xsl] Wrox book still the best xslt how-to book? I would say you should get both Mike's book and Jeni Tennison's (XSLT and XPath on the Edge), even if only for the simple reason which is thanking them for all they do on this list, then for the fact that they are great references. Doug Tidwell's Oreilly book is good too, probably because reading an O'reilly's book is familiar experience. His tootomatic example should be required reading for everybody. best, -Rob David LeBlanc wrote: >If not, what is? > >Dave LeBlanc >Seattle, WA USA > > > XSL-List info and archive: http://www.mulberrytech.com/xsl/xsl-list > XSL-List info and archive: http://www.mulberrytech.com/xsl/xsl-list XSL-List info and archive: http://www.mulberrytech.com/xsl/xsl-list
