XSLT 2.0, maybe with a focus on Saxon.  Suggestions?

Our own PDF book we sell covers every element, every attribute and every function of XSLT and XPath both versions 2.0 and 1.0 ... an excerpt of it can be obtained here if you want to see the scope of the content:

Note that if you buy any edition of the book you get no-charge access to all future editions of the same title (customers of our first edition in 1999 with only XSLT 1.0 received their 12th free update with the latest 13th edition that added XSLT 2.0).

If you are interested in an interactive hyperlinked DVD-ROM video version of our 5-day hands-on XSLT class that we teach when we travel the world, purchasing that includes a copy of the PDF book and all of the exercises (which are not in the book):

Already I'm starting to see customers post about using the video:

The next 5-day hands-on class is in two weeks in Prague, and that class includes all of the keywords of XQuery as well as all of XSLT and XPath:

Saxon is used in the classroom and in the book Saxon examples are used for items such as collation URI strings.

I hope this helps.
