Using XSL(T) for Applications

XSLT staat voor Extensible Stylesheet Language Transformations en is een taal waarmee XML documenten in andere XML documenten kunnen worden getransformeerd. Daarnaast is XSLT geschikt om XML documenten te vertalen in andere tekst georiënteerde documenten zoals HTML, JavaScript en SQL.

Deze cursus biedt een grondige inleiding op XSL transformaties.
