More Stupid Net Tricks with XML and XSLT
The Linus Sphinx Show: Stately Sphinx Manor (http://www.fullsack.com)

In this installment Linus will take the text data of his fave 1980's multi-player dungeon adventure game. "Dark Continent", convert it into XML docs, subclass the JAVA Httpd object to produce a pseudo soap server serving doc fragments for a simple tomcat servlet that takes the name value pairs from the browser, rewrites and sends them to the soap server and retrieves a document fragment to apply the mother of all XSLT stylesheets creating an AJAX driven MMORPG able to grow in spoke and wheel fashion.

We'll spend the second half introducing the Modxslt2 project, how to build an rpm from it's latest source and install and unleash the awesome power of this Apache2 module just taking flight to perform all your static XML/XSLT transformations without Java or an app server required. Transformative technology transforming the entire game.
