Saxon CE Workshop Saxon Client Edition was introduced at XML Prague 2011 as a very early alpha release, and a beta release with greatly improved functionality, conformance, and robustness has been announced just in time for XML Prague 2012.
This session is your opportunity to learn about how to use XSLT 2.0 in the browser, and to share ideas with the developers. Saxon-CE isn't just about upgrading XSLT-in-the-browser to provide the long awaited language features from XSLT 2.0, it's also about moving the whole processing model forwards to embrace the changes that have taken place in the Web since 1999. It's not just about transforming static XML to static HTML any more, it's about exploiting XSLT's event-based processing model to provide a declarative environment for handling user interaction, animation, and communication with applications on the server.

Location

The pre-conference day takes place in the same venue as the main conference. However it is situated in the different building. It is best to use campus entry from the Italská street. You can see entrance and explore area using Google Streetview.

Just use entrance from Italská street and continue straight inside building until you reach atrium. Then use stairs to go one floor up and then look around for room RB211, RB212 or RB213 (alternatively you can use elevators on the left side and go to the floor marked as 2 on the control panel).

Food and drinks

Unless event organizer arranged something special for you there will be no coffee or lunch provided as a part of the preconference day. But there are several facilities you can use to make your body happy:

Please be aware that above mentioned places do not accept credit cards, you will have to use Czech cash. Fortunatelly there is an ATM machine next to cafeteria (little bit hidden behind doors to Česká spořitelna bank).
