The course XSLT Stylesheets discusses how XSLT, eXtensible Stylesheet and Transformation Language can be used to format and transform XML documents. The course is based on the latest version of XSLT but the differences with previous versions are also highlighted.
The course deals with transformations from XML to HTML, from XML to XML and from XML to other text formats such as plain text and JSON.
Furthermore, attention is paid to navigating through XML documents via XPath expressions and the various search axes of XPath are explained.
There is plenty of attention for the many functions that XPath and XSLT have to offer and that can be called during the transformation process.
An important element of XLST is the principle of template matching. This therefore forms the central element of the course.
The XSLT elements that have to do with flow control are discussed, as well as those for copying elements.
Furthermore, the use of generic templates and the use of apply templates is discussed as well as named templates and their calling with call-template.
The transformation of attributes to elements and vice versa is also on the course schedule.
Finally, we look at transformations from XML to various other formats. In this respect, a separate module is devoted to the transformation language XSL-FO and transformations to PDF.
The course XSLT Stylesheets is intended for Application developers, Web developers and project managers who want to learn XSLT to apply XML formatting and transformation.
Knowledge of HTML and XML syntax is required. Knowledge of the basic concepts of programming is not required but beneficial.
The theory is discussed on the basis of presentation slides. The theory is clarified using demos and interspersed with exercises. The course material is in English. The course times are from 9.30 up and to 16.30.
Participants receive an official certificate XSLT Stylesheets after successful completion of the course.
