XUL Article Trilogy @ Sitepoint: Part I: Introducing XUL - The Net's Biggeset Secret

Hi,

  Harry Fuecks (of phppatterns.com fame) kicked off
his XUL Article Trilogy @ Sitepoint with the first
episode entitled "Introducing XUL - The ‘Net’s Biggest
Secret".

  Harry starts off asking:

What if I was to tell you that you can write your own
version of Word using something like HTML and
JavaScript? What if I added that you could run on your
hard disk or launch it directly from your Web server
and use it to update your site's content? It sounds a
little far fetched, I know, but it's right here, right
now -- and it calls itself "Zool".

  Topics Harry will cover in the XUL Trilogy include:

* The XUL Revolution: just who is Zool? 
* Back to School: time to dust of that JavaScript... 
* Zoolology: getting read to fire up your first XUL
application 
* 3D Browsing with XUL: straight in at the deep end. 
* Desperately Seeking: the search is over. 
* Takeaway Menu: with fries please! 
* But no one uses Mozilla: back to browser detection. 
* The Rise of the Rich Client: the future is XUL.
