Subject: RE: [xsl] Thoughts on the XSLT, Second Edition book From: "Michael Kay" <mike@xxxxxxxxxxxx> Date: Mon, 28 Jul 2008 14:41:31 +0100 |
Actually, the one that's just come out is the 4th edition - and it's now nearly 1400 pages. It's designed to cover the language in depth - both reference content, and a thorough explanation of the concepts. So it's designed both for experienced users and also for beginners who want to become experts, but it's not a step-by-step tutorial.
