Introductory Xul

Xul stands for Xml User Interface Language. It is an Xml markup language that allows for Gui-based application creation using the Mozilla platform. In turn, the Mozilla platform is composed of several technologies used to build applications within the Mozilla Project. Firefox and Thunderbird are just two applications built using Xul and other Mozilla project technologies. Xul makes it easy to build your own stand-alone applications through the use of Xulrunner, Xpcom, JavaScript, Html and Css. This book is intended to be a quick start-style resource to give you the basics of creating a Xul Gui along with how to make that Gui actually do something using JavaScript and Xpcom. This 5th Edition incorporates many revisions and additions including new information on data storage using built-in Sqlite support and using JavaScript's Os.File module.
