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