My XSLT Toolbox - 5 Favorite XSLT Books

January 8th, 2009

I love reading programming books, especially to learn a new programming language.  Learning XSLT, I read a large number of books, as there are quite a few available.  The quality of the XSLT books struck me as particularly all over the place, some were quite good while others weren’t even worth the time to skim.  [...]

Simply put, thanks to everyone who visited in the past year. Still amazing to me that people from nearly 80 countries took a look at something I did.
Cheers to the new year, may it be good to all of us!

Update to some random thoughts

January 8th, 2008
