Title: (an aside for XSL users and a resource)
Product review: >>Good Intro to XML, >>But don't buy if your interested in XSL.XSL is still a draft standard, and Microsoft's implementation is not strictly compliant with the more recent releases of the draft. Writing usable XSL is a nontrivial task (eg. for a large website dynamically generated from streams of XML data).The author of this book maintains an XML website (updates it daily, even) called Cafe con Leche. http://metalab.unc.edu/xml/As for the book, I flipped through it and put it back on the shelf -- XML is still embryonic and seems most usable for EDI, information management, and forcing office software goliaths to use (naively) parseable file formats. XML for the web is unlikely to be useful until better client-side XSL processing can be implemented.Since the book wasn't bad, just ordinary, I gave it the average (4 stars). I had no opinion on it.
