Hello,
allow me to highlight two upcoming XUL talks.
David Young's and Jason Henriksen's upcoming talk
for the O'Reilly Open Source Convention (OSCON) in
Portland, OR on July 28th is titled "Next Generation
Applications in XUL: Microsoft Avalon XAML for the
Rest of Us".
The talk summary states:
Why wait for Microsoft's Longhorn's Avalon XAML
application development framework in 2006 when
developers can begin to create web-delivered
applications using XUL today? XUL will be compared
with other alternatives, in addition to XAML,
including Macromedia's Flash (and ActionScript).
*Reduce* the complexity of the application development
effort. With XML as the common language for
application definition and Javascript as the business
logic of the application, XUL allows developers the
ability to quickly create feature-rich applications
delivered over the web.
*Reuse* the Javascript work already invested in
browser-based applications.
*Recycle* the power of desktop user interfaces with
the power of XUL cross-platform application
frameworks. This talk will walk through the entire
lifecycle of developing an application in XUL.
We will also demonstrate the benefits of building
generic XUL dispatch applications on top of XML
servers.

Ben Galbraith's upcoming *free* talk at the Denver
JUG on May 12th is titled "Swing Optimization".
To highlight the XUL connection allow me to quote
from the talk summary:
In fact, there are several other alternatives to
Swing, including Thinlet, wx4j, and XUL-based
frameworks. This session will examine these
alternative GUI toolkits, demonstrating their
look-and-feel, performance, and most importantly,
APIs.
