To get you all excited allow me to quote the sales
pitch from the publisher:
In Rapid Application Development with Mozilla, Web,
XML, and Open Standards expert Nigel McFarlane
explores Mozilla's revolutionary XML User interface
Language (XUL) and its library of well over 1,000
pre-built objects. Using clear and concise
instruction, McFarlane explains what companies such as
AOL, IBM, Hewlett-Packard, and others already
know-that Mozilla and XUL are the keys to quickly and
easily creating cross-platform, web-enabled
applications.
Coverage includes:
* A detailed introduction to the fundamentals and
capabilities of Mozilla
* Full descriptions of Mozilla tools, including
XUL, XBL, and XPCOM
* The RDF data format and its interactions with
XUL, including Listboxes, Chrome, Overlays, Trees, and
Templates
* Creation of "thick client" and other UIs
* Events, Forms, Menus, Navigation, and Commands
using DOM, JavaScript, and XUL
* Tips for integration into Windows and Mac
systems
* A guide to deployment of finished applications
* Hundreds of examples, screenshots, and code
listings
An additional feature of Rapid Application
Development with Mozilla is the NoteTaker Web browser
add-on-a sample Mozilla application that is developed
throughout the book. When installed in a browser it
allows you to add notes to Web pages-even pages on
other people's Web sites! It is a memory and
commentary tool that enhances repeat visits to a given
site. This simple application provides a real-world
example of all technologies used in the book.
If you're an application programmer or a web
developer and you're looking for a productive,
state-of-the-art, cross-platform programming tool,
then Rapid Application Development with Mozilla is
essential reading.
