Does Treehouse offer XML and/or XSLT courses? I have been unable to locate classes that teach this technology.
Thank you.

XML has been mostly replaced by HTML5 & JSON.
XML usage went down when work on the XHTML 2 standard was stopped 2009.

Maybe James can tell us whether there is any "non-legacy" alternative to XSLT...
