XMLDevCon Talk Slides: Declarative UI using SVG

Hi,

  I just stumbled over Don Demcsak (aka DonXML) XML
Dev Con West 2003 talk slides titled "Declarative UI
using Scalable Vector Graphics".

  Don kicks off his talk with a teaser:

  Have you ever wanted to create your own UI widgets,
but didn't know the low level APIs for your platform's
graphics engine? Or, what if you wanted to create your
widget but needed to be cross platform, or even
rendered in a browser. Well Scalable Vector Graphics
can be your salvation. This session will show you how
to create your own graphic mark up languages, and
render them as SVG, thus eliminating the need to learn
the low level graphics APIs. The examples will include
interactive bar graphs, gauges, and a label generating
web service that uses the SharpVectorGraphics SVG to
GDI+ rendering engine.

  In slide 4 titled "The Options" Don kindly lists XUL
as an option for declarative UIs along with Internet
Exploder's Element Behaviors, Vector Markup Language
and Scalable Vector Graphics.

  (Note, that the PowderPoint HTML conversion seems to
get worse with every update. I'm not sure if you need
to upgrade to Windows XP and Internet Exploder 6 just
to browse Don's plain-vanilla slides.)
