Hour 11. Introduction to Extensible Stylesheet Language (XSL)

The focus of this hour is using style sheets to describe both the appearance and form of XML data. Not only does XSL allow you to do both, but it also contains commands that succinctly describe operations performed on the data.

In this hour, you'll learn the following:

  • Some basic background on Cascading Style Sheets (CSS)

  • The definition of namespaces and their role in XML

  • The basic role of XSL

  • The role of XSL templates and patterns in Web development
