Course Description: XSL Transformations, Level 2

Students in this course continue to learn the details of both XSLT and XPath, including the various XSLT elements not covered in Level 1, the XSLT functions, and the unabbreviated XPath syntax. They will also use XSLT in a server-side environment utilizing ASP (Active Server Pages) and ADO (ActiveX Data Objects) technologies. Finally, students will use XSLT with XML data islands and SVG (Scalable Vector Graphics).
