This book represents an amazing feat of distilling all you really need to know about XSL 1.0 into 170 pocket-sized pages. What's more amazing is that an experienced developer with little prior XML/XSL experience can actually learn enough from this little gem to write competent XSL.


A reference manual AND quality tutorial in 1/20th the space (and dead trees) of most tech books these days. I've recommended this to several of my colleagues who had to get up to speed on XSL for a new project, and the reaction from them is the same as mine.... This was EXACTLY what I needed.


It's a shame there are no plans for Evan to write the corresponding XSLT 2.0 pockete reference.
