Summary

The World Wide Web Consortium's Extensible Stylesheet Language Transformations (XSLT) is a language for transforming XML documents so they can be processed by web browsers, databases, mobile phones, printers, XML processors, voice response systems, and LDAP directories. XSLT allows users to take their XML data when and where they want it. XSLT includes practical, real-world examples, which show how to apply XSLT stylesheets to XML data. The resulting transformations run the gamut of XML applications including sound files, HTML, WML, graphics (SVG), and Braille. Readers get a thorough understanding of XSLT and XPath and their relationship to other web standards, along with recommendations for a honed toolkit in an open platform-neutral, standards-based environment.

Author Biography

Doug Tidwell is a senior programmer at IBM. He has more than a sixth of a century of programming experience, and has been working with markup languages for more than a decade. He was a speaker at the first XML conference in 1997, and has taught XML classes around the world. His job as a Cyber Evangelist is to look busy and to help people use new technologies to solve problems. Using a pair of zircon-encrusted tweezers, he holds a master's degree in computer science from Vanderbilt University and a bachelor's degree in English from the University of Georgia. He lives in Raleigh, North Carolina, with his wife, cooking teacher Sheri Castle (see her web site at http://www.sheri-inc.com) and their daughter Lily.
