Beginning XSLT 2.0

Beginning XSLT 2.0 : From Novice to Professional introduces XML and XSLT bit-by-bit, gradually demonstrating the techniques that are required to generate HTML (and other formats) from XML. The second part pulls the theory together by looking at what you can do with XSLT, including generating graphics. Each chapter has several step-by-step examples, for which code is available online, and a list of exercise questions at the end that help review the new features described in that chapter. All of the examples and exercises are based around a single case study: making TV listings available online.
