Announce: Eighth Edition of XSLT/XPath Tutorial Materials

   Practical Transformation Using XSLT and XPath
   (XSL Transformations and the XML Path Language)
   Eighth Edition - 2000-07-07 - ISBN 1-894049-05-5
   Copyright (c) 2000 Crane Softwrights Ltd.
   / 341 Pages / Subscription price includes free updates
   /           / and separate copy of all example files.

This revised Eighth Edition again contains all constructs of the W3C 
Recommendations for XSLT 1.0 and XPath 1.0 with cleaned-up text, examples, 
and new content based on feedback and requests for additions from existing 
customers.  It has been just over four months since the last edition and 
sufficient material has been collected to warrant publishing a new 
edition.  This is the third edition since the release of the 1.0 
Recommendations.

The free download preview excerpt (in both A4 and US-letter page sizes) has 
also been updated to reflect the content of the Eighth Edition.

As with our other editions of this XSLT training material, the purchase of 
any edition of this publication entitles the customer to any future edition 
of the same material at no charge.  Note that the work on this material 
*has not stopped* ... work will continue (notably, the recent revelations 
of the XSL charter at http://www.w3.org/Style/2000/xsl-charter.html 
confirms that changes are coming down the road for both XSLT and XPath) and 
future editions will continue to track changes in these 
Recommendations.  Therefore, your purchase will always be up-to-date with 
these W3C technologies.  Also, you can influence how the material evolves 
by asking us to consider changes you'd like to see.

Information can be obtained from the link below to the "Commercial Training 
Materials" section the Crane web site (also the location of the free 
download preview excerpt).
