Hello, for a change allow me to forward Stephen D. Williams mail titled "XML API examples".
Here we go: XML-based GUI interpreters are the way to go for the long term, although it will take a while to standardize. All native GUI toolkits will likely be left in the dust, including my favorite: QT and/or KDE. Derived, IMHO, from TCL/TK, XUL and XAML along with a couple cool Java applets are showing how powerful this can be. This is essentially taking the idea of a web browser and semantically pivoting it to supporting XML+XSL+custom objects/methods/event handlers rather than, or possibly in addition to HTML. Very clever, clean, concise, user-modifiable/skinnable, and a big win overall for GUI programming. I haven't yet found a truly complete system however that supports arbitrary 2D or 3D graphics, which is something I need. Is Stephen D. Williams out of his mind? What's your take on it? - Gerald ______________________________________________________________________ Post your free ad now! http://personals.yahoo.ca ------------------------------------------------------- This SF.Net email sponsored by Black Hat Briefings & Training.
