XSLT is the language, especially designed by the W3C Consortium for processing XML documents and hierarchical data in general. This course covers the fundamentals of the language – both version 1.0 and 2.0. Learn in depth the features of XSLT, and be part of the demos of their real-world practical applications. Not only is XSLT a powerful, higher-level, declarative and extraordinary with its pattern-matching philosophy modern programming language, but it opens to us a whole new world of knowledge, understanding and problem-solving strategies.

Author Description:
Dimitre Novatchev developed FXSL – the functional programming library for XSLT (1.0 and 2.0). He thrives at discovering and employing unexpected capabilities of XSLT and XPath that even their W3C creators hadn’t imagined. Suggested the argument placeholder feature that is now part of XPath 3.0. Member in the W3C XSLT working group in 2011 – 2013, where he contributed to the design and specification of XSLT 3.0. Dimitre has answered around 5000 XSLT/XML/XPath questions on StackOverflow and … more
