As I’ve been learning XSLT recently, I went hunting for a book to help me get up to speed. Based on the customer reviews on Amazon I bought Teach Yourself XSLT in 21 Days by Michael van Otegem. Although the title is lame, I’ve been quite pleased with the book. I was looking for something that was more tutorial than reference, and I got just what I wanted. XSLT itself is a different beast than the usual procedural or object-oriented programming, so it does take a bit of effort to wrap your head around the model. The author does a nice job of going into the right level of detail, without treating me like I’m dumb or leaving my head spinning. There are lots of examples which nicely demonstrate the topics. There is a quick reference list in the back of the book regarding elements and functions, but it is a bit hard to read due to the formatting. However, that is really the only wart I’ve found so far. I recommend this book to anyone who needs one on the topic.
