XSLT: What Is It and Why Use It?
Presenter: Nikki Massaro Kauffman
Description: XSLT is most often used to transform XML data into HTML for a browser, but its uses go beyond HTML. This session will introduce those familiar with JavaScript and CSS to the benefits of using XSLT by:
- comparing XSL to CSS,
- introducing client-side and server-side XSLT, and
- explaining how XSLT makes use of the same source data to address varying needs (PDF, EDI, XHTML, CSV).
Prerequisite Skills: Familiarity with CSS and JavaScript is recommended.
