Using any search engine will turn up thousands of XML and XSL resources on the
web. In conjunction with our co-sponsored XML presentation in September, 2000, we've listed a few of the most useful.
XML
- XML in Ten Points
http://www.w3.org/XML/1999/XML-in-10-points
A quick overview of XML from the W3C.
- Robin Cover's XML Resource Pages
http://www.oasis-open.org/cover/
The most comprehensive site of XML resources on the web.
- W3C's Extensible Markup Language (XML) page
http://www.w3.org/XML/
Includes links to working drafts, XML tools, newsgroups and mailing lists, official
specifications, and other XML resources.
- W3Schools XML Tutorial
http://www.w3schools.com/xml/
An excellent XML quick-start tutorial for beginners. This web site also includes many other
tutorials on web topics, such as: SOAP, XSchema, HTML, and JavaScript.
- XML Hack
http://xmlhack.com/
A "news site for XML developers," this site contains the latest news about XML and related
technologies. Their listing of websites for developers will keep you busy for some time.
XSL
- W3C's Extensible Stylesheet Language (XSL) pages
http://www.w3.org/Style/XSL/
This W3C's page explains how XSL consists of two parts: XSLT and XSL FO, and clears up
misconceptions about how these technologies relate to XML. As with the W3C's XML pages, this contains current news,
links to tutorials, XSL tools, and links to other web resources on XSL.
- XSL Transformations (XSLT)
http://www.w3.org/TR/xslt
This link is to the W3C recommendation for XSLT. XSLT "is a language for transforming XML
documents into other XML documents". In this way, data in the XML source can be re-ordered, or repeated in the XML
result document.
- What is XSLT?
http://www.xslt.com/what_is.htm
From xslt.com comes this excellent description of XSLT.
- XSL FO (XSL Formatting Objects)
http://www.w3.org/2006/12/xsl11-pressrelease
The second part of XSL, XSL FO 1.1 has been adapted by the W3C. Work on XSL 2.0 begins. This link is to the still
changing FO section of the XSL working draft.
