Course References
Basic reference textbook
We are planning to use Jenni Tennison's "Beginning XSLT 2.0, From Novice to Professional" as a reference for the study group.
Some other references recommended by mentors
As we create learning tasks and challenges, I am hoping that folks will look through some of these references and point others to things that are relevant and useful.
- Mike Kay's book, XSLT-2-0-Programmers-Reference-Programmer covers much the same ground, but it aimed at the professional programmer.
- For the even deeper details, XSLT-XPath-Edge-Professional-Mindware
- http://www.w3schools.com/xsl/ -- This has an online XSLT editor that shows results! Could be a handy place to find exercises or ideas for exercises. Might be a handy tool to add to the tools page.
Some references that need further investigation
These need some investigation so that we know whether they are 1.0 or 2.0
- David Pawson's XSLT FAQ <http://www.dpawson.co.uk/xsl/>
- Stackoverlfow recommendations
