Introduction to XSL Transforms

Presenter: Dave Gash
Cost: $10 for MTC STC members; $20 for non-chapter members
Cost includes drinks, deli sandwiches, chips, and dessert.

It's always something: Learn one technology and you'll soon find that to do anything really juicy you need to learn another one that sits on top of it! Examples abound: HTML/CSS, JavaScript/DHTML, and of course XML/XSL. In this session, we will discover XSL, the XML stylesheet language, and learn some coding basics. In particular, we'll explore transforms (the T in XSLT), and how they interact with XML documents to create powerful and flexible pages that choose not only what to display, but how to display it -- without scripting!

You will learn:

  • How XML and XSL are related
  • What transforms are and what they can do
  • How XSLT expands XSL's power and flexibility
  • How to create and use transform templates
  • XSLT coding for selections and decisions
