    So much it's hard to explain. A very simple way that I use it is like SQL, for sorting and returning data. But in the xslt environment you can link it with members details, umbracos librarys and css in quite imaginative ways.

    Go through the w3 schools tutorials on xslt to get a general idea then have a look in the forums what people are doing with it within umbraco.

    It was my first development wall when I started using umbraco now I wonder how I did without it for so long.

    All published content in an Umbraco site is in a large XML document.

    The simple explanation of XSLT:

    XSLT is used to search / sort / select information from this document and turn it into HTML that is presented in the browser.

    The best way to get an overview of how XSLT is used in Umbraco is to read this:

    http://our.umbraco.org/wiki/reference/xslt

    Hope this helps a bit

    If it helps XSLT and XSL are the same thing :)

    I'd suggest you take a look at:

    http://www.w3schools.com/xsl/default.asp

    and

    http://www.w3schools.com/xpath/default.asp

    Both of which are a great intro to XSL and XPath
