XSLT is a powerful, higher-level, declarative and extraordinary member in the family of modern programming languages, due to its pattern-matching philosophy. This is the language for processing XML documents and hierarchical data in general, that opens to us a whole new world of knowledge, understanding and problem-solving strategies.

XSLT is the language, especially designed by the W3C Consortium for processing XML documents and hierarchical data in general. This course covers the fundamentals of the language both version 1.0 and 2.0. Learn in depth the features of XSLT, and be part of the demos of their real-world practical applications. Not only is XSLT a powerful, higher-level, declarative and extraordinary with its pattern-matching philosophy modern programming language, but it opens to us a whole new world of knowledge, understanding and problem-solving strategies.
