Ken Holman will come to Tokyo in October
to conduct his Practical Transformation Using XSLT and
XPath (3 day course - October 7-9) and Practical Formatting Using XSL-FO (2
day course - October 10 and 11) training courses. Information
about the courses is available both in English [XSLT/XPath] [XSL-FO] and in Japanese.
There is a large population of native-English-speaking
developers of different kinds working in Tokyo; for them,
these courses (which seem to have a good reputation in the
XML developer community) may offer a rare opportunity to
receive quality XSLT/XPath and XSL-FO training in Japan in
their native language.
The site for Holman's company, Crane
Softwrights includes a page with schedules and syllabi for all upcoming courses as well as a page providing information about previewing and
purchasing related electronic books that are "supersets" of the handouts
used for the training courses.
It doesn't provide any kind
of online form for registering for the courses offered, but
says that "technical and service offering inquiries" should
be e-mailed directly to Holman at <gkholman@CraneSoftwrights.com>.
