Subject: [xsl] "...how a few lines of XQuery can often do more than a large XSLT stylesheet." From: "M. David Peterson" <m.david.x2x2x@xxxxxxxxx> Date: Mon, 21 Mar 2005 21:21:00 -0800 |
Would anyone care to comment on the following snippet found in the description[1] for the XSLT/FO programme of XML Computer School 2005: "Over the course of two days, you can learn the basics of XSLT and gain relevant hands-on experience; discover the new capabilities that XSLT 2.0 will bring us; how to use XSL-FO to create Acrobat files and other formatted documents using free software; and how a few lines of XQuery can often do more than a large XSLT stylesheet." It seems that this statement > "and how a few lines of XQuery can often do more than a large XSLT stylesheet." is a tad shy of what could be considered even close to realistic but before I find myself at the top of somebody's else "hit list" I thought I would get the opinions of the community. It could be that this is just tease bait to use an exciting keyphrase to lure in those who would otherwise not attend but thats only one, very small possibility it would seem. Besides, hands on XSLT 2.0 would have been enough to find me camping out for tickets if taught from some of the "locals" :D Thoughts?
