Transforming XML using Altova Stylevision

The eXtensible Stylesheet Language for Transformations is a core XML technology for both presentation and middleware layers of enterprise applications. This training course teaches students to write their own XSLT files to transform XML into XSL-FO for RTF PDF, or HTML. The course uses the Stylevision product from Altova as the tool of choice, but also goes beyond the tool so that students can understand the documents that have been created.
