[xul-talk] XUL Competition

[Marc Clifton]

Hi Gerald,   Sounds great.  I was eyeing the RSS reader in Longhorn’s XAML as a fun thing to do in MyXaml and to spur me on to getting a couple other features finished.   Also, I have a great little RPN calculator application using MyXaml for the declarative part of the user interface.  The demo illustrates another interest of mine, the MVC pattern, and how markup and MVC can go really hand-in-hand.  At one point, I had the demo running with inline code in the markup as well!   There’s a screenshot of it on the www.myxaml.com website, and you can download the demo there as well.   Anyways, a comparison of the different XUL technologies to implement the same thing would be a great study.  Personally, I think it would make a great article on The Code Project as well.  Let me know if you’re interested in that—contributing authors would require giving me permission to publish their code, or create an account on www.codeproject.com so they can be listed as a co-author.  Why CP does not have a XUL section, there is a broad readership base and I think people would find it interesting.  Besides, with Longhorn’s XAML, etc., they’ll need to add an XUL section soon.   Marc
