Useful, but not a text to start with
Unfortunately, I didn't find Holman's "outline style" to aid that much in comprehension. At best, it would disjoint me a bit, and at worst, I wouldn't be able pull the different fragments of ideas together. Once I had a foothold in the material or knew the context of the language that I was looking for, the book's outline would make sense, but rarely beforehand. If you are looking for a reference, I would say this book could come in handy and be useful, but I may consider seeing if better options are available. If you are looking for a primer, I'd steer clear of this text, or I would look for a preliminary introduction online before cracking it open.

This guy was instramental in defining what XSLT is!
Not much to add to what others have already said. I just wanted to respond and give 5 stars.The examples are clear and definitive - if you have the ability to read XML and understand programming logic. Though Holman makes a clear point that XSLT is not a traditional programming language - but he does an excellent job of distinguishing the what, why and how of making the transition.

Not worth the money
If you are looing for a book to learn about XPATH and XLT. Stop!! This is the worng book. The author does not express himself in layman terms. Instead, I think that one would have to be fairly familar with the technologies that the author is trying to explain to really appreciate this book.
