Hi Mark Not sure you are drawing the right conclusion from this. (Also not talking high numbers anyway, so maybe irrelevant) For the past 10 years I believe that I trained a good 5 people at least per year in projects, Over half of them really new in the game (often greenfield projects) the others junior / medior that wanted to step up (after project audits or performance updates) Some of the 'old fart' books on XSLT2.0 get you a long way teaching the basics. Other available resources have been mentioned already. 2 projects (100+ person days of my contribution) involved XSLT streaming. There are some XML Prague sessions by Abel Braaksma and/or Michael Kay that would get you started with streaming, if that is what you are after https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=OeSQ4ompB1g https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=kzGZvh-FbNw https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=W7pqUqO9rGg to name some And more general, Liam Quin did a webinar for Markup UK https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=p8087hIYX2M Even newcomers can get by decently with an XSLT 2.0 book, some training and some reference material, after they grasped the basics. I believe getting the basics right, is most crucial actually. The frequency of former project related requests I get, proof to me that most of the former trainees are still pretty active... but as you don't see them on forums, or mailing lists... all of this happens pretty much under the radar. Though these numbers are not impressive at all (even stemming from a single person experience), my hypothesis would be that old books sales and software sales could be a better metric for newcomers than the availability of new books would be Hope this helps Best regards Geert Bormans -----Original Message----- ... I hypothesize from this that there are very few people coming to XSLT from the ground up these days, only old farts updating their skills. ... Thanks, Mark
