XSLT 2.0 Programmer's Reference (Programmer to Programmer)»rank: 369285by: Michael Kay
: :What is this book about? XSLT 2.0 Programmer's Reference, 3rd Edition, is the authoritative reference guide to the language. Without using the formal and inaccessible language of the W3C specifications, it tells you exactly what every construct in the language does, and how it is intended to be used. This book is a reference rather than a tutorial; it is designed for the professional programmer who is using the language every day. It is the book that people quote when they claim that a particular product is giving the wrong answer, and the book that implementers of the language turn to when they want clarification of the specifications. At the same time, the book is readable. ... |

XQuery: The XML Query Language»rank: 648279by: Michael Brundage
: :This book will be for XQuery what The Java Programming Language is for Java: a complete description of the language, suitable for both beginners and experts. This book is what you need to understand the basic design goals of XQuery and its application in real-world development. It provides solid coverage of XQuery, and is appropriate as a tutorial and a reference. The W3C specification is dense, poorly written, very formal and abstract, and does not contain many examples--exactly what you'd expect from a formal specification. Consequently, developers are starving for information about and examples of XQuery. Because the formal specifications are most people's only source of information about the standards, and because ... |
