Overview
XSLT (Extensible Stylesheet Language Transformations) is a language for transforming XML documents into other XML documents,[1] or other objects such as HTML for web pages, plain text or into XSL Formatting Objects which can then be converted to PDF. The XSLT processor takes one or more XML source documents, plus one or more XSLT stylesheet modules, and processes them to produce an output document. The XSLT stylesheet contains a collection of template rules: instructions and other directives that guide the processor in the production of the output document. This training starts by presenting the basic concepts of XSLT and XML processing. It then covers the variety of XSLT processing options, conditional processing, variables and paramers as well as sorting, grouping and filtering XML contents with the aid of XPath expressions. You will learn how to generate output in (X)HTML, text, and also XML.

Marco Skulschus (born in Germany in 1978) studied economics in Wuppertal (Germany) and Paris (France) and wrote his master´s thesis about semantic data modeling in XML, shortly before any of the current Semantic Web standards had been adopted. He started working as lecturer and consultant in 2002.Publications
