Crane Softwrights Ltd. is pleased to announce that all four of its commercial PDF publications are now freely-downloadable based on a "Try and Buy" covenant:

  Practical Transformation Using XSLT and XPath
  http://www.CraneSoftwrights.com/training/#ptux

  Practical Formatting Using XSL-FO
  http://www.CraneSoftwrights.com/training/#pfux

  Practical Universal Business Language Deployment
  http://www.CraneSoftwrights.com/training/#publd

  Practical Code List Implementation in XML
  http://www.CraneSoftwrights.com/training/#pcli

The "Try and Buy" policy asks you to acknowledge that if you find the book useful and want to keep using it, you will pay for a registered copy. If you decide you are not going to use the book, please delete it from your system. Please do not keep a copy around if you are not going to pay for it.

Registered book owners (including all who have already bought our books in the past) have free access to our book forums at http://books.CraneSoftwrights.com where questions about the content found in the books can be posted. Spam-avoidance procedures require book owners to create a forum login account and immediately forward the account name to me, otherwise the account may be inadvertently deleted (dozens of spam accounts are created every day). We are looking forward to this growing to be a useful resource for book owners as well as for myself as I look for ways to improve each publication based on the questions being asked.

Each of the above four books is the basis of handout material for our four respective instructor-led training classes (of the same names). I can travel to deliver the material or the material can be licensed for delivery by other trainers:

We have a long history of me teaching these materials around the world:

Please contact me off-list if you have any questions regarding our books or our instructor-led training. In particular, if you are willing to host a publicly-subscribed training class hiring me to deliver to your audience (perhaps your own trainers in a train-the-trainers scenario), then please let me know.

Thank you!

p.s. we just completed the inaugural delivery of our new 2-day "Developer Audience" configuration of our hands-on <oXygen/> class that may be of interest to you:
