Hello,
now it's official the XUL Grand Coding Challenge
2004 just got started.
What is it all about?
The XUL Grand Coding Challenge 2004 starts on
Tuesday, April 13th, 2004 (that is, today) and will
run for four weeks. To take part in and complete the
XUL Grand Coding Challenge you need to create two
samples plus an optional bonus free-style sample with
your XUL/XUI/XAML/XML-UI toolkit/player/parser/etc. of
choice.
The challenge #1 is a simple counter sample (20-30
minutes*). The challenge #2 is a simple calculator
sample (40-60 minutes*). The challenge #3 is an
optional free-style sample that you can use to
highlight the strength of your XUL/XUI/XAML/XML-UI
toolkit/player/parser/etc. of choice. A RSS news
reader/blog reader is suggested.
(*) Note, that the XUL Grand Challenge 2004 is *not*
a real-time challenge. You have four weeks for
completion and the time estimate here are just rough
(optimistic) estimates how long it might take you.
Note also that there will be no winners. It's up to
the reader to judge and decide what
XUL/XUI/XAML/XML-UI toolkit/player/parser/etc. to use.

screenshots and markup samples in the official XUL
Grand Challenge 2004 web page thanks to Marc Clifton's
efforts so nobody gets stuck on the one true way only.
