XSLT 2.0 Programmer's Reference, 3rd Edition, is the authoritative reference guide
to the language. Without using the formal and inaccessible language of the W3C
specifications, it tells you exactly what every construct in the language does,
and how it is intended to be used. This book is a reference rather than a tutorial;
it is designed for the professional programmer who is using the language every
day. It is the book that people quote when they claim that a particular product
is giving the wrong answer, and the book that implementers of the language turn
to when they want clarification of the specifications.
At the same time, the book is readable. Reviews of the previous editions of
the XSLT Programmer’s Reference, which this book grew from, show that readers
appreciate the background material on the design thinking behind the language,
the essay on functional programming, the occasional dry wit, the gentle criticism
of the language specification when appropriate, and the fact that the examples
stray into a diverse range of interesting application areas.

About the Author
Michael Kay has been working in the XML field since 1997; he
became a member of the XSLWorking Group soon after the publication of XSLT 1.0,
and took over as editor of the XSLT 2.0 specification in early 2001. He is also
a member of the XQueryWorking Group. He is well known not only through previous
editions of this book, but also as the developer of the open-source Saxon product,
a pioneering implementation of XSLT 2.0, XPath 2.0, and XQuery 1.0.
The author has recently formed his own company, Saxonica Limited, to provide
commercial software and services building on the success of the Saxon technology.
Previously he spent three years with Software AG, working with the developers
of the Tamino XML server, a leading XQuery implementation. His background is
in database technology: after leaving the University of Cambridge with a Ph.D.,
he worked for many years with the (then) computer manufacturer ICL, developing
network, relational, and object-oriented database software products as well
as a text search engine, and held the position of ICL Fellow.
