Dear Raseswari,
Thanks for your appreciation!! It's so fulfilling!! It's really good that you are planning to go for the XML certification. XML is the technology of tommorow!
Well as far as your preparation goes, I guess
you should keep 1-2 months if you want to go for a good score. Since you are not totally new to XML I am sure you won't have much problems. And for my suggestions for preparation I guess you have already gone through my first mail of this
thread. Also go through the links I have given in it, e.g. Ajith's thread is also there, it will be really useful.
As far as your doubt is concerned, yes you were wrong before. XSL and XSLT are two different things. Actually XSL has 3 parts, first is XPath which is used to query XML documents, second part is XSLT, which is used to transform XML documents from one kind to another kind. The third part is XML rendering, which is used to render XML documents. So, XSLT is just a part of XSL and not same as XSL.
I hope I have been of help to you, please let me know if there is anything else I can do to help.
Dear Savita,
You are always welcome!
AS far as XML bible goes, yes the author has given only 5 chapters free, to get the full book you got to buy it, but let me tell you that it's really worth buying this book if you are looking at working with XML in long term. Also consider reading Inside XML as I have been hearing a lot about this book specially for certification purposes.
I hope it helps! Please let me know if there is anything else I can do to help.
Love you lots!
