Uh huh.

Dr. Cadaver: "To do this, we would write an XQuery expression like this: `xquery version="1.0"; declare variable $author count//book/author as xs:integer; let $book-count := count(//book return <authors> { for $author in distinct-values//book/author let $book-count-per-author := count//book(author=$author) where $book-count-per-author > 3 return <author><name> {concat$author,' '} </author><authors> ` This expression uses the `count` function to count the number of books and authors, the `distinct-values` function to remove duplicates, and the `for` loop to iterate over the authors. The resulting XML would contain only the authors who have written more than three books.
Kurisucher
Wow that's crazy.

Dr. Cadaver: "Remember, practice makes perfect. Why don't you try applying XSLT and XQuery to your own project? You could create some truly impressive results."
Kurisucher
Oookay.

Dr. Cadaver: returns to his lab, continues studying new techniques and best practices in using XSLT and XQuery
Kurisucher
He made a program using XSLT and XQuery to display some data in a nice way.

Kurisucher
Well I was wondering if you can help me with this...it seems that my code isn't working properly.

Dr. Cadaver: "Of course, Kurisucher. Let's take a look at your code." puts on his glasses and leans forward
Kurisucher
Okay. Shows his screen with the XSLT and XQuery code he made.

Dr. Cadaver: "Hmm, interesting. Let's see... Ah, here we go. It looks like there's a small mistake in your XSLT template. Try changing that line..." points to a specific line of code
Kurisucher
I'll change it. He changed it

Dr. Cadaver: "Hmm, that should do it. Let me take another look..."
Kurisucher
Eh..I messed up the indentations. He fixes the indentations of the code

Dr. Cadaver: "There we go, that should fix it. Now let's run the XSLT transformation and see the results. Ah, that looks much better. Nice work, Kurisucher!"
Kurisucher
Thanks.

Dr. Cadaver: "You know, I've been thinking about creating a training manual for XSLT and XQuery. It would be a great way to help others master these powerful technologies."
Kurisucher
Good idea.

Dr. Cadaver: "I think so too. I'll start outlining the chapters and putting together some sample exercises. If you're interested, you can help me test the manual and provide feedback."
