By the way, I don't like your tutorial too much, it seems a bit of examples put together without a decent explanation<br />
<br />
Advice: read this book:<br />
<a href="http://www.dcc.fc.up.pt/~zp/aulas/pde/geral/bibliografia/XSLT.pdf" rel="ugc">http://www.dcc.fc.up.pt/~zp/aulas/pde/geral/bibliografia/XSLT.pdf</a><br />
<br />
not sure the PDF is legal, but you can buy it or read it on safari<br />
make sure you read the first edition, it is more concise and does not cover XSLT2<br />
<br />
it is a splendid reference (I am using the second edition in my XSLT teaching classes)<br />
Doug explains it all very well.<br />
Your eyes will open after no more than 40 pages or so

xpath paths

Extensible Markup Language (XML) refers to the encoding of documents such that they can be read by both machines and humans. XML documents use tags to show the beginning and end of a set of data. XML is used extensively on websites to show volumes of data, and is the default for a number of office productivity suites. This topic includes discussions of XML-related technologies, such as XQuery (the XML Query language), XPath (the XML Path language), XSLT (eXtensible Stylesheet Language Transformations), XLink (the XML Linking language) and XPointer (the XML Pointer language).

A programming language is a formal constructed language designed to communicate instructions to a machine, particularly a computer. Thousands of different programming languages have been created, mainly in the computer field, and many more still are being created every year. The description of a programming language is usually split into the two components of syntax (form) and semantics (meaning). Some languages are defined by a specification document (for example, the C programming language is specified by an ISO Standard), while other languages (such as Perl) have a dominant implementation that is treated as a reference. Some languages have both, with the basic language defined by a standard and extensions taken from the dominant implementation being common.

Programming Languages-Other

Java is a platform-independent, object-oriented programming language and run-time environment, designed to have as few implementation dependencies as possible such that developers can write one set of code across all platforms using libraries. Most devices will not run Java natively, and require a run-time component to be installed in order to execute a Java program.

Java

Web development includes all aspects of presenting content on intranets and the Internet, including delivery development, protocols, languages and standards, server software, browser clients, databases and multimedia generation.

Web Development

Java Enterprise Edition (Java EE) is a specification defining a collection of Java-based server and client technologies and how they interoperate. Java EE specifies server and client architectures and uses profiles to define technology sets targeted at specific classes of applications. All Java EE profiles share a set of common features, such as naming and resource injection, packaging rules and security requirements.
