Release Notes<br />
-------------------------------------------------------------------------------<br />
This is your guide to building Internet applications and user interfaces with <br />
the Mozilla component framework, which is best known for the Firefox web browser <br />
and Thunderbird email client. Programming Firefox demonstrates how to use the <br />
XML User Interface Language (XUL) with open source tools in the framework's <br />
Cross-Platform Component (XPCOM) library to develop a variety of projects, such <br />
as commercial web applications and Firefox extensions. This book serves as both <br />
a programmer's reference and an in-depth tutorial, so not only do you get a <br />
comprehensive look at XUL's capabilities--from simple interface design to <br />
complex, multitier applications with real-time operations--but you also learn <br />
how to build a complete working application with XUL. If you're coming from a <br />
Java or .NET environment, you'll be amazed at how quickly large-scale <br />
applications can be constructed with XPCOM and XUL. Topics in Programming <br />
Firefox include: An overview of Firefox technology An introduction to the <br />
graphical elements that compose a XUL application Firefox development tools and <br />
the process used to design and build applications Managing an application with <br />
multiple content areas Introduction to Resource Description Files, and how the <br />
Firefox interface renders RDF Manipulating XHTML with JavaScript Displaying <br />
documents using the Scalable Vector Graphics standard and HTML Canvas The XML <br />
Binding Language and interface overlays to extend Firefox Implementing the <br />
next-generation forms interface through XForms Programming Firefox is ideal for <br />
the designer or developer charged with delivering innovative standards-based <br />
Internet applications, whether they're web server applications or <br />
Internet-enableddesktopapplications. It's not just a how-to book, but a what-if <br />
exploration that encourages you to push the envelope of the Internet experience.<br />
