RE: Wrox book still the best xslt how-to book?

This is only my opinion as one who has purchased and used many of these 
books.

I agree that Professional XSL is excellent as a text for learning and 
relearning.  It goes from 50,000-feet and into the detail you need to 
figure out what technology you want and why.  It's sorta top down approach.

I liked Jeni's book very much too. It's got things I can use in it.  And 
when I have a problem that's the first place I turn.  It's nuts and bolts.

And Mike's book is equally awesome for what it does, explains how each 
thing works and pulls the pieces together in a context.  It seems to be to 
look from the detail up.

I also like Tidwell's OReilly's book, which seems to approach it like a 
programming class.  Instead of top down, or bottom up, you can learn it 
sideways just like another other programming language class.

I haven't gotten the others yet so I can't speak on them. My experience is 
that most of the books are excellent efforts given different approaches. 
 At least that's my two cents. Hope this helps.

I would say you should get both Mike's book and Jeni Tennison's (XSLT
and XPath on the Edge), even if only for the simple reason which is
thanking them for all they do on this list, then for the fact that they
are great references.

Doug Tidwell's Oreilly book is good too, probably because reading an
O'reilly's book is familiar experience. His tootomatic example should be
required reading for everybody.

best,
