How to get started with xslt-transformations?

Question

What are good tutorials for that? I mean NOT the ones like

"Hi! Today we'll transform <xml>Hello World</xml> to <h1>Hello World<h1>! Good start! Keep learning!"

Something like "xlst for 21 days", or "xslt: from novice to professional" :)

Thanks, Ilya.
