- Exercise ZIP packages (please note all downloadable resources for this lecture)
Please watch Lecture 11: Module 2 Lesson 3 for instructions on how to work with this resource.
Note 1) the lecture makes reference to exercise files in .EXE and .TAR.GZ formats that cannot be downloaded from this site. These contain the identical contents as the .ZIP file, including all invocations required for non-Windows environments. Simply use the .ZIP file for unpacking and then follow the platform-specific instructions.
Note 2) a student has kindly pointed out that the "data2" exercise file is different than what is used on the video. I've attached a supplemental ZIP file to this lecture 10 with the correct version of the exercise.

Description
"Practical Transformation Using XSLT and XPath" is over 24 hours of instructor lecture, with hands-on exercises and solutions, of an intensive five-day training class. The introduction/overview is free, the first two modules are free, the introduction of every other module is free, one additional lecture is free and the annexes are free: a total of 311 minutes of free preview content!
This class overviews the entire scope of the Extensible Stylesheet Language Transformations (XSLT) 1.0 , XSLT 2.0 , the XML Path Language (XPath) 1.0 and XPath 2.0 W3C Recommendations, used for transforming structured information (e.g. XML to XML, XML to HTML, XML to XSL-FO, XML to text, etc.). The objectives of the course are to understand the role and utility of the Recommendations, to overview all the constructs of the Recommendations (this five-day delivery covers every element, every attribute, and every function), to design and develop XSLT scripts, and to efficiently navigate the available documentation and resources. The relationship of XSLT to XSL is explained, though details of XSL Formatting Object semantics are not included.
Who this course is for:
- Beginner XML user
- Intermediate XML user
- Advanced XML user
