[2] XSLT 2 to 3, 2 day course
    31st October, 1st Nov, ROckville MD, USA

XSLT 3 is what Americas call a game changer. If you're using XSLT 2,
you need to move to XSLT 3. Find out why. Do more. Do it faster. Do
things you couldn't do before. Do them easily.

fn:transform() changes what you can do with XSLT; streaming changes the
size of documents you can process and the speed and efficiency of the
process. JSON and HTML 5 support, along with zip archive support, puts
you ahead of the ebook curve. And there's even a way to make generating
CSS easier. Like, wow.
