>I need a book that will help me use XSL. I thought I would try a mind/experience builder exercise by using SQL Server data/VFP COM objects/ADO/XML and XSL to port my traditional VFP reports to WEB reports.
Since XSL is still in extremely early stages, and the current 'standards' are still in proposal stage, this is a difficult question to answer- anything you learn might change soon. However, I still thinks it's worth learning.
As a VFP programmer, I assume you'll probably be using msxml to do your XML/XSL development in. I do, and the references I have found most useful have been Microsoft Press' XML In Action, and the XML Developer's Center at msdn.microsoft.com/xml. Both of these resources obviously offer up an extremely Microsoft slanted version of XML/XSL technology, but in this case, this is a good thing, because you'll probably be using the ms parser, which holds you to the MS slant.
I have also found some extremely helpful examples at
www.vbxml.com. The guys over there are very deveoted to getting people educated, and have really put in some good effort putting together articles and samples.
