Ken Holman has announced the eighth edition of his Practical Transformation Using XSLT and XPath training materials.

Holman writes that the new edition includes "cleaned-up text, examples, and new content based on feedback and requests for additions from existing customers". The training materials are available in electronic form, and once purchased can be updated free of cost.

Noting the recharter of the XSL working group, Holman said that his materials will continue to track the ongoing development of the XSL and XPath technologies.
