Schedule
We (purposefully) did not cover some subjects initially scheduled, and covered some that were not. I've reconstructed the schedule here to somewhat more closely resemble what we really did. But it's done from memory while on a plane with far too little sleep, so it may be somewhat off.
The lists of topics not covered, slide sets not used, and extra topics covered, is below the schedule.

Bibliography
Many slides and handouts refer to the page or chapter of the reference work that we personally use:
Kay, Michael. XSLT 2.0 and XPath 2.0 Programmer’s Reference. 4th edition. Indianapolis, IN: Wiley/Wrox, 2008. ISBN: 978-0-470-19274-0
References to “Kay” are to this book.
Resources
- sample TEI data file #1: WordHoard Hamlet
- sample TEI data file #2: gazateer of the Colonial Despatches of B.C. and Vancouver Island
- first toy XSLT program: first.xsl
- second toy XSLT program: second.xsl
- XHTML crib sheet: HTML, TEI
- CSS crib sheet: HTML, TEI
The resource page has links to all the slide sets (whether used in this workshop or not), interesting web sites we may have shown, and useful TEI links. The general WWP workshop materials for download page may be of interest, too.
