• http://www.zvon.org/xxl/XPathTutorial/General/examples.html is the XPath Tutorial at www.zvon.org. It's very much like an immersion course in XPath, so it's easy to feel lost at first, but there is some excellent information here.

• http://www.w3.org/TR/xslt is the W3C's working specification for XSLT. This document is a very scientific document and is not recommended for beginners. However, for those looking for a deep understanding of how XSLT works, this is just the place to go.

• http://www.zvon.org/xxl/XSLTutorial/Output/index.html is the XSLT tutorial at www.zvon.org. This is an excellent starting point for people who want an easy introduction to the world of practical XSLT.
