Rating:  Summary: Modest title for such a great book Review: Jeni calls it "Beginning" XSLT since she probably wanted to attract new-comers, but this book goes well beyond the intro stuff. I have 3 books on XLST, the others being good books, but this is by far the best. Real world examples, plenty of explanation for each. What else can I say. Buy this if you need to work with XML/XSLT.
Rating:  Summary: XSLT Review: Not many ladies write books, but when they do, they are the best! Jeni is definitely the Queen of the jungle!
Rating:  Summary: It is the best book, but Review: So far I think it is the best book for a beginner to learn XSLT. What I like is that Jeni explains the concept with a lot of examples in one project "TV Guide Site". Just following her examples you can learn XSLT step by step. The reason that I don't give 5 stars is that I don't think it is good way she always keep using CSS in her example when she talks about XSLT stylesheet. It really makes me confused. Why don't we just use one style rather than two stlye at the same time? For me a beginner having not a lot CSS background I like more pure XSLT examples. In one word, this is the best book about XSLT for a beginner.
Rating:  Summary: Great! Review: This book really helped me get going with XSLT. The author explains things at an appropriate level for a knowledgable programmer who is not familiar with XSLT/XPath. Chapters end with a Summary section and Review questions/exercises that help solidify learning. Minor complaint: there are some "oversimplifications" in this beginners' book, which are misleading if you take them as literal truth. All in all though, very helpful. The author's broad and deep expertise shows, as do her pedagogical skills. The author is active on the XSL mailing list and personally answers XSLT questions from several people daily, which adds value to the book. Now that Wrox has been liquidated, order this book while you can!

Rating:  Summary: clone of wrox 2002 book Review: This is an exact copy of the book published by Wrox in 2002. I found a used copy of the Wrox edition for three bucks in a bin of a technical store. Looks like the folks at APress took the rights and re-published it. And I am noticing here now that the 2.0 version is scheduled for pubblication in a couple of months.
