ot: xslt beginners guide?

2004-04-21 Thread d.a.collie
Well... over on cf-ot I posted this on Saturday (I know, need to get a
life) so I'll post here in the hope of getting a response :-)

Anybody recommend any good forums for XSL/XSLT beginners? 

Books and all recommendations welcome. 

Got a loan of the XSLT Cookbook from Or'Reilly*** and that proving to be
a help (Well good http://www.oreilly.com/catalog/xsltckbk/) 

Also http://www.zvon.org/ is proving invaluable.

I have a Wrox book by Michael Kay, who knows a thing or two about XSLT.
There used to be a related forum on wrox.com which Michael was on, so you
could always get an answer if your question was interesting enough. Not sure
if it's still there.

I wouldn't say the book makes XSLT exactly easy to understand, but I think
that's because XSLT just isn't very easy to understand ;-)

Thanks for getting back to me... sorry, I don't think I've worded it
very well

I've went through the simple tutorials on w3schools, also on zvon.org...
I've got a grasp of the really basic stuff with the basic examples
given.

I'm at the stage where I've got a XML schema and I wanna be able to do
what zvon.org does so I don't need to care what platform the user is
coming to the pages on... but I've hit a brick wall...

Guess I was looking for the XSLT version of this list :-)

That's exactly what I'm running into... just don't know enough to make
the leaps required at the moment... but ah'll keep trying :-)

Cheers

It does?! Nah, I had no idea ... hitting book store tonight ...

http://www.mulberrytech.com/xsl/xsl-list/

That list is where the big dogs hang out - most any author of an XSLT
book and/or XSLT parser is on that list. They are often helpful if you
ask your questions correctly (i.e. in the hacker way - I think Jochem
posted the how-to-ask link a couple times).

Cheers, and thanks for the information

Yeah... mentions the commercial ones then gives a nod to yours... I
could dig out the page no if needed :-)

for.Thanks for your help.

A good book to get started is:

http://www.oreilly.com/catalog/learnxslt/

I wrote a small review on Amazon

Apart from zvon.org, as Michael suggested, w3schools.com is a good resource
(especially for beginners)
