Ben Nadel over at Kinky Solutions has been delving deeply within the confines of XSLT transformation and it's applications with Coldfusion. His recent post on the subject, Recursive XSLT For Nested XML Nodes In ColdFusion, was a real eye-opener for me. I had tried studying and applying XSLT transformations to XML files in the past, but it had always seemed more complicated than it was worth. Now, I can finally see the light! I promised him I'd give XSLT another look, so I guess you're stuck with my coming experiments.
In case you're wondering, I don't only point to other blog posts, I have my own! You can see my posts on my blog home page by clicking on this link.
I swear I'm not crazy...

Glad to help get you inspired. This XSLT stuff is pretty cool, and it is much more powerful than what I have even learned. I still need to look things ups and refer to my notes. But, I think once things like variables and paramters in XSLT become second nature, it starts to feel like a real language.
From my experience though, working with XSLT requires smaller, tighter code than working with XML directly (depending on what you need to do with it). I hope that we can continue to learn from each other.

Thanks for the info, I will definitely put some time aside to review this more in detail :D.
