Link: http://www.powells.com/cgi-bin/biblio?inkey=62-0131423436-0 To get you all excited allow me to quote the sales pitch from the publisher: In Rapid Application Development with Mozilla, Web, XML, and Open Standards expert Nigel McFarlane explores Mozilla's revolutionary XML User interface Language (XUL) and its library of well over 1,000 pre-built objects. Using clear and concise instruction, McFarlane explains what companies such as AOL, IBM, Hewlett-Packard, and others already know-that Mozilla and XUL are the keys to quickly and easily creating cross-platform, web-enabled applications. Coverage includes: * A detailed introduction to the fundamentals and capabilities of Mozilla * Full descriptions of Mozilla tools, including XUL, XBL, and XPCOM * The RDF data format and its interactions with XUL, including Listboxes, Chrome, Overlays, Trees, and Templates * Creation of "thick client" and other UIs * Events, Forms, Menus, Navigation, and Commands using DOM, JavaScript, and XUL * Tips for integration into Windows and Mac systems * A guide to deployment of finished applications * Hundreds of examples, screenshots, and code listings An additional feature of Rapid Application Development with Mozilla is the NoteTaker Web browser add-on-a sample Mozilla application that is developed throughout the book. When installed in a browser it allows you to add notes to Web pages-even pages on other people's Web sites! It is a memory and commentary tool that enhances repeat visits to a given site. This simple application provides a real-world example of all technologies used in the book. If you're an application programmer or a web developer and you're looking for a productive, state-of-the-art, cross-platform programming tool, then Rapid Application Development with Mozilla is essential reading. - Gerald PS: For more books about XUL check out the XUL Alliance bookshelf @ http://xul.sourceforge.net/books.html ------------------------------------------------------- This SF.net email is sponsored by: SF.net Giveback Program.
