[ANN] course, XSLT: Two to Three

For anyone still interested, there are two places still available.

The course is now at the Cambria Hotel in Rockville, MD, starting on
Monday. If you're registered, you should have received mail from me
about the new venue; if not, check your spam folder :)


If you're using XSLT 2, you need to know about XSLT 3. Find out why on
this course. Learn the major new features - streaming, fn:transform,
new instructions, new functions, new data structures, new types.

fn:transform() changes what you can do with XSLT; streaming changes the
size of documents you can process and the speed and efficiency of the
process. JSON and HTML 5 support, along with zip archive support, puts
you ahead of the ebook curve. And there's even a way to make generating
CSS easier. Like, wow.

Higher-order functions simplify a lot of tasks - learn about these, and
learn when not to use them, too. Stylesheets, packages, modes - XSLT
has grown up.

You can write transformations that are easier to read and maintain,
that run faster, that do more.

We can't cover it all in just three days - part of the course is about
empowering you to find outt more.

This is a three-day course aimed primarily at people who have already
met and are using XSLT; it will help you considerably if you are using
XSLT 2 already. If you are not sure, contact me :)
