Learning XSLT I am habituated with procedural, functioanl or OO style of programming. Imperative style is new to me. Before learning XSLT, where I can learn the basics of imperative style?
Perl Programmer
Before learning imperative programming you should really learn about compiler design. And before you learn language processing, you'll need a firm grasp of natural language and linguistics. Better get started on latin right away.
surely you're joking
Nah, I don't want to learn compiler design..
Perl Programmer
Learn Prolog?

Doubtful that imperative programming http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Imperative_languages is new to you seeing as perl is imperative (as is C++, Java, et al). The word you are looking for is declarative programming http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Declarative_programming, which is what XSLT is.

If you want to learn XSLT, learn xslt. It's not complicated enough to justify the kind of navel gazing that you're talking about. There's a simple tutorial at w3c.org that will have you up and running very quickly. Follow that tutorial up by installing an xslt processing engine like Cocoon and try building a web site. You won't know everything about XSLT at that point, but you will know enough to make good use of XSLT in applications. This is the route that I followed, and I picked it up very quickly.

When you do decide to learn XSLT check out zvon.org - there are some good tutorials and refererences there. http://www.zvon.org/
